Good catch. I missed the fender dip but I saw the hood gap and asked for one more picture which confirms this problem. The seller knows nothing about the car, is a used car dealer. I learned that car was at an auction a year ago in Denver and highest bid was 7500 and did not sell. Some red flags I suppose.

Started examining the procedure for alignment of the hood and read previous posts by Kube for the 1940s and if this 46 is similar, it is a big deal that I won't be able to handle. May be that is why despite a fair restoration the hood was not fixed.
