and I am applying occams razor, everything fits, adds welting, everything doesnt fit. most likely is the changed bit.

also, the last picture (beautiful paint by the way) it looks like the hood is shifted forward slightly.
I forgot exactly where the pivot point was going to be I've been lucky and not yet had a problem in that spot but never say never.

At any rate this should just take some fine tuning and a lot of patience.
