Lining up the hood...

[amalventano1@home.com (Allyn)]

Josh,
    You may need to move the fender (yes, it moves, just unbolt the row of
bolts). Also, if the gap gets wider from back to front, the hood/fender is
crooked. Adjusting one hinge/fender will fix it. Keep in mind the front of
the car may not be perfectally straight, and you may have to compromise. Its
easier to tell fender gaps are uneven than windshield gaps, so make sure the
fenders gaps are straight/even.
