if the hood hinges were not rebuilt thats probably the alignment issue, e-bodys usually show excessive wear especially challengers, you will need to address that, tough to live with new paint and a hood out of alignment.



Most of the time it is a alignement issue. It's easy to struggle with hood alignement on a challenger. GO TO RESTO RICKS site and he explains how to alinge those hinges, works every time even with your old hinges. The correct adjustment are exact opposite from what you would think.
