i am prestenly doing my hood on my 29 coupe. it is not a easy process to align the hood. i have done this several times on other a's i have done. i also have seen factory photo's where ford put the hood's on metal jigs to check the fit on them before they were installed on the car. you can put some spacers under the cowl hinge pivot, either the right or left side depending on which side you are wanting to adjust. you can also shim either side of the radiator. is your hood an original or repo. sometimes the repo's are not stamped true. it is one of those adjustment's that take's time. after i get mine done i will post and tell you how it went and what i did.
