Thanks guys.
Czechman... this is a trial fit. One of a few I have planned.
I actually got the hood to sit down right. Since I was working alone I put some weight on the hood near the hinge and loosened and retightened the hinges. This solved the height issue. I later adjusted for the gap at the back. I still have alot of tweaking to do but the hood opens and closes and I have redrilled the holes for the rear fenders.
I hate fitting body panels. It is my least favorite job.
