Need help with my 1977 hood adjustment

[72addict]

First off, all parts are GM, no tiwainian here. I have the doors and front fenders adjusted and the gaps are good and the body lines look sweet. Then there's the hood. when I first mounted the hood and closed it, it stuck up at the cowl side about 1.5" - 2". OMFG. Then I loosened all the bolts that mount the hinges to the fenders. I propped up the hood with a stick, pushing it up until it would not go any farther, then tightened all the bolts back up. When I closed it, same thing, it stuck up 1.5"-2". Then I tried the same thing with another set of hinges. Same thing? I removed the springs from the hinges to see if there was a bunch of slop, but there was not any. Can anyone help me figure this out?
