I'll measure later, but y'all realize your difference is 1/16 of an inch,
totally believable
that any two could differ by that amount, maybe one is 1/32 too big and the
other 1/32 too small.
The hood gaps in the photos I have see seem to vary a little too, the
headlight doors changed sizes, perhaps
other parts of the body varied as well.
It would be nice if 20 people measured to chart the difference between
years, etc.

All,
Can anyone with an un-molested car provide a dimension to me?A I'm
looking
for the width of the hood opening as measured across the hinge plate.A
By
hood opening I'm talking about the recessed area that the hood rests
in.
My car was crunched hard in this area and I'm trying to confirm
dimensions
as part of the repair process.A With fenders on and straight my hinge
plate
appears to be about 3/8 of an inch short of the width.
Corey gave me a dimension of 32" but since his car suffered damage in
the
same area I'm not sure if that is a reliable width.
Thanks, Lynn
