Default Re: 1940 tudor deluxe hood latch help needed!

My iPhone doesn't like trying to take a photo thru the small opening

As you can see there is about a 1/2" gap at the front of the hood to grill interface, it is "locked" solid, I cant push down or rearward on the hood, it doesn't budge.

The secondary latch at the very front of the hood is loose, I can move it back and forth, but it doesn't change anything.

Looking thru the opening I can see the "hook" in the down position but the release tab is full in the up position.

In regards to grill disassembly, would you recommend I attempt to remove just the chrome grill, not the sheet metal sides? Of course if i can remove the chrome grill, the air deflector is probably still blocking access to the latch mechanism inside the hood.

Anyone with a spare stick of dynamite?

Its been 100-115 in the garage, I need to wake up real early to tackle this.
