[sammywells]

After studying the problem for a few days i decided to just fix it. I ran a weld bead along the fender and ground it down then took a file to make it true. Then removed some spot welds along the front of the hood and the side. I then lifted the hood just enough to slide a shim under the front radius to lift the metal just a little to compensate for the hood being rolled more than it should have been. I then tack welded the front lip back. I then added a thicker piece of metal to the side of the hood in order to narrow the gap. Ground everthing down till the gap was about where i thought it should be. On the other side i just ran a weld bead along the edge of the hood and ground it down to where i thought it look ok. Took a few hours but i think it looks so much better.
