thanks for the info, I attached the link to the pictures. i am wondering if my hood was warped with the dent... i just cant put my finger on why its not aligning correctly. could my hood hinges be worn or bent? there is a lot of play between the two sides of the hood on the hinges. just wierd how everything fit perfect before and now I cant get anything to work. thanks again for all the help here!
