Not sure if this will help wes,on my 57',i couldnt get the hood seams even all the way around.I would adjust the hinge on one side and it would be perfect,but,the other side would be off.I happened to take my truck out to Bill's truck shop to stop and pick up some new springs for the hood.I told him what my problem was and he came out to have a look see.Well,it turns out the problem was in the hinge itself,the bushings were worn out,but you could'nt tell with the naked eye.Well,i bought two brand new hinges,and problem solved.The hood lined up all the way around and everything worked just fine.Just something to look into bud.
Good luck.
