Back of hood won't close

[jjjmm56]

The hood on my 56 will not go down all the way unless I push it down. I replaced the springs and made new pivot pins from bronze with nylon washers. Lubed everything but still won't close. I might need to put a foward tilt mount on. Anyone have one on, how close are the hood to fender and cowl gaps, and are they adjustable? All my gaps are tight and I don't want my hood to raise up while driving!
