The chip occurred installing the hood when the blankets slipped. I did go through the "tech tips" several times., good stuff. So I worked on the right side for a while till I couldn't take the 95 degree Temps in the shop. I now have about a 1/4 inch gap on the hood to cowl. A much better gap at the rear hood to fender, but the front gap is still the same. Again, this is only the right side. I'll have to try again later. Thanks for the input guys
