If the gap between the fenders and the hood isn't relatively even, it may be that the fenders need a little tweaking to get more arch to match the hood edge. That's accomplished by putting a few crimps on the flange where the inner fender attaches to get the gap at the center closer. You may notice some of them already. If there is more gap at the ends instead of the center, then flattening the crimps that are there on the flange will reduce the arch in the fender. You can put in the crimps by grabbing the flange with some needle nose pliers and twisting. What you want is more bend at the edge of the flange than near the top of the fender.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
