You can adjust hood alot easir with the fender wells removed. That is how I have done mine in the past. Before I installed hinges, I would just sit the hood on front clip on the truck. Check for warpage, look at lines. Take off, install hinges, hood again, bolt down lightly and adjust from inside fender well looking up to hinges mounts. Have rubber hammer, long flat screw driver and a 9/16 short socket and a ratchet set up from flexability. That should determine if its the hood or other body panels out of alignmnet.
