I am trying to mock up my front sheet metal after all the welding and grinding. I have bolted up the fenders, grille and grille pan. I am trying to align the hood but the rear of the hood wont sit down on the cowl. It is about 1 to 3 inches high of the cowl. If I press it down it will go but it just pops back up when I let go....Any thoughts on this???

The hood was never on the truck when I bought it.

Are the springs too tight?
I think I have the the hinges adjusted all the was down.

This is all that stands in the way og my redrilling the fender mount bolts to the cab so I can move on.
