My car was clipped befor I bought it. good possibility the front hood is not original. Respray... so is there a way to get it to line up at the corners. The middle is tight as possible, but the hood itself does not meet at either side, I dont want to try to bend it a little and then I need another hood. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I've done it many many times on many kinds of cars, in fact Markb and I did it to his rear trunk lid recently. It's scary but I have never ruined one. You put a short piece of 2X4 or 4X4 in the middle to block the hood up a bit and 2 people push down. It is important that one person mostly holds down and the other does most of the pushing. If both people push at the same time you can't feel what's going on and you have less control. Take your time, push a little bit, check your work, push a bit more and check it again.
