"Instructions for fitting the hood to the fenders on my 1950 3100 that is posted on SB"
You will be chasing your tail to attempt to fit the hood to the fenders.
Step one: Fit the hood to the cowl and the hood latch, then do not touch the hood ever again.
Step two: Adjust everything else to fit under the hood.
This may appear to be an oversimplification of the complex procedure of lining up the front clip, but it is imperative to completely separate steps one and two.
It is not uncommon to run into "special" challenges during Step Two. The procedure to which you are referring does not include all of the potential "special" challenges. That would have drug the tech tip too far into weeks, leaving it less useful as a guide.
Feel free to PM me once you have the hood completely adjusted, or before that if you have trouble adjusting the hood. I can hopefully walk you through it and help you git-r-done.
