You may need to adjust the hood front to rear to allow for proper clearance with the cowl."
Be sure to close the hood very slowly and have your helper watch the hood to cowl clearance..... Also keep an eye on both sides.

I would probably add "loosen all bolts, slide hood and hinges forward about 1/8" and tighten front bolt, then open fully and push...yada yada yada" keeps it from closing up against the cowl and lessens possibility of paint damage. Ask me how I know
