Just putting my 62XL back together too, so I'll have to see how the hood goes back on. I've had different Galaxies where the rear of the hood would pop up and I'd push it down.(Interesting to hear that that is a sign of stretched rivets) I'm reusing my old hinges, they seemed fine, but that's a scary story of one letting loose on you. Mike, I saw your ad about the bumper eccentric bolts. I think I'm going to need some too. Both bumpers are off the car and I haven't found those bolts. I don't believe AutoKrafters sell them either. Good luck with your car and post some pictures if you can.
