before i put the front end on i cross measure the core support for squareness. the hood should have a little larger gap in the rear. it looks like the front is not square. make sure the front of the fenders are pulled out as far as possible and tightened. i think that the gap on the sides should be around 3/16. thats including the cowel to fender. set the hood down with the bolts loosened and without the latch. make sure you tape the fenders first. then you can grab the hood and twist the hood side ways and pull or push the hood foward or backwards till you have the desired position then open the hood slowly and snug the bolts and close the hood to see if it moved. adjust again if needed. thats one way to adjust the hood .
