Hey Robin , Tight is right and here are some pics for you. You certainly can not slam this hood down on mine anyway. I push it down to the safety latch and then look at both sides and shove it down. Mine is a 55 1st series ,same as yours only a tad newer.
Notice the bevel on the hood and fenders at the front? So it seems to me it was intended to wedge it self into place. I believe it was a intentional design for it's era.
When you say cowl area do you mean the hood?
