Front end was completely unassembled. Originally had a huge 1/2" gap at the hood-cowl. Rad support was also smashed right down for who knows how long, pulling everything out of whack. I used the tech tip to align the hood, with a strap and it made no change. I tried again doing each side individually and it pulled in quite nice. When I removed the 4" block and closed the hood, I pulled the passenger side in a little less than 1/8":

Still a huge gap and the whole hood seems to be torqued towards the drivers side. On the drivers side, the gap is ok closer to the fender, but quite gappy at the hood seam:

Following the tech tip, it seems to pull in nice, but as soon as I remove the strap and lower the hood, the passenger side is horrible. Any suggestions?
