'My  Elky did this right after the paint job  was done.  I replaced the hinges 
with new ones and it still did it.  Took it to a body shop where they adjusted 
the hood and it hasn't happened since.

  Sounds like loose bolts and missalignment.

    this is a question from a friend of mine, he has a 72 elcamino and 
sometimes when he shuts his hood the hood will jump up onto the fender in the 
back corner and scratch his new paint job,,
    any ideas of why this happens??
    i am thinking its the hood springs being weak??

    thanks
