Its FG and sticks up half inch at the cowl. Already removed the springs. Is there any adjustment in/at the hinge to body point? I sure hope so... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Take a long socket or body hammer and brace under the curve part of your hinge and push down to strighten your hinge a little then readjust the hood gap at the top. I was removing a gas tank with the hood on and pushed the hood up to far and put more curve in my hinges. when I shut the hood the back was up an inch or so. Since you are using fiberglass, apply pressure on top where the hood bolts up to keep from breaking your hood. Removing the springs makes this task a little easer.
