Alignment and fit of the front end sheet metal.
Found a twist in the left fender causing a gap between the fender and hood.

Is it just twisted or was that from welding in eyebrows?

I checked my old pictures and the gap was there in 1970. The hood had 2 diagonal braces missing from the hood latch to across brace allowing the hood to twist slightly. Installed the braces and the gap disappeared.
