I've not seen a '37 hinge but if it's the same as my '38 it's impossible for it to be that far out without some sheetmetal damage to the "hinge" area of the hood half. Check where the front of the affected hood half rides on the hinge. You should be able, with the hood open, to push the hood half back into alignment. That will give you a better view of what's going on at the front of the hinge area.
