Hood alignment on 1928 AR Roadster

[glenn in camino]

I think I would take the hood apart and set each piece on individually to see where the problems are. If it's painted with the new auto paints, you should be able to carefully bend it without cracking the paint. Stretch a string from the center if the gas cap to the center of the radiator cap to see if it intersects the rear hood rod clip. Your radiator may need shimming or deshimming on one side or the other. Hood alignment is often a hastle. Keep trying.
