57 Thunderbird. Removed trunk lid to install weatherstripping. Tape I used to mark placement moved. Any ideas on how I might replace and align trunk lid now that my tape has moved

You should be able to see where the bolts originally were fastened on the hinge from disturbed paint and synch marks. . Use that as the first alignment and the trial and error after that

When I took my hood off for painting I first drilled an1/8th inch hole through the hood side bracket and the attaching bracket. when I went to re attach I just put an 1/8th inch drill through the holes and everything was lined up perfectly
