Re: front end gaps

You could increase the length of the weld by cutting along the red lines and then remove the green sections.

Re: front end gaps

I think the only math would be to make the width of the removed section match the distance you want to move the hood back. I'd be inclined to tack it in place to verify the hood is where you want it before welding it all the way together.
