I recently bought a '52 - 5 window 1/2 ton pickup that has had new fenders installed by a PO.

Problem: The hood overhangs the left front by about 1/4" to 3/8" and doesn't close all the was.

Question: Can the fenders be 'spread out' enough to allow the hood to sit down where it should and still have a reasonable gap left?

I have the shop and assembly manuals but I can't seem to tell if the front of the fender can be adjusted 'out' to give more clearance.

I will appeciate any words of wisdom before I dig into the alignment job and do something stupid that is expensive-$$$$-.

This is a great site - the members really care and try to help. Thanks in advance for any comments.
