I have solved the hood alignment issue related to the right rear corner. It seems the cowl is not centered on the cab. Must be a factory issue as I did not replace it during the sheetmetal repairs. The solution was to add spacers between the left hinge and the cowl. This moved the left side out and brought the right side in. The panel alignment is much better now.
