WD40 is a great hood alignment tool!!
My hood looked pretty good. The margins were all nice and the back near the cowl was a little high,but I could live with it. My biggest problem was the rear of the hood hitting the cowl ever so slightly when I raised it. I adjusted this till I was blue in the face but could not get it to stop hitting. My hinges are in decent shape with very little wabble. So I decided to lube the hinges with WD40. Man!! I slammed the hood so hard the first time I shut it after spraying the hinges my headlights and grille fell on the ground(LOL). Not really but it was amazing how easy it opens and shuts now It is actually to low near the cowl now. And I closed the gap between the cowl and hood.
