I need help getting the hood to sit right on my 80 Trans Am. It is a fiberglass hood. The hood sat fine until I replaced some bent hinges. Now it seems to be too high in the middle on each side, but flush in the front.

It almost looks like you may have to lower the front half of the hinge, that mounts to the fender, or your hinge has to much tension for a fiberglass hood.

Yuo didn't say whether you changed to a lower tension spring or not? Most people when using a FG hood go to a clutch return spring.
