   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
