Ok here is what I think of as oil canning. These old style oil cans worked by pushing the bottom of the can, it was sort of bowed (stretched) out a little. It clicked in and out when you pushed the bottom. Similar to this clicker toy

Those too CG. Well another bit of bad news is my NOS hood hinges are bent now too. So after I found another hood it can't even be put on. So I decided to purchase new custom billet aluminum hood hinges. They are supposed to be a better hinge because they are more rigid than the stock hinges. So hopefully that will take all hood alignment problems out of the picture. They cost me over $600.00 so they better be good..
