adjust side to side gap on hood

[Peanut74]

Before I do something stupid, which would a nice change, I thought I would ask the group first. I put the hood on my '67 with it all the way forward in the slots. When I checked to see how the fender to hood gap was one side was tight and the other had about a 3/8" gap. The gap looks even all the way down so the hood is not crooked. I loosened the hood bolt and pushed the hinge over to see if that would help but it didn't. All the parts are OEM so I'm not dealing with an after market issue.

My question is how best can I address this issue? From what I can find out on the forum and internet you just bend the hinge to fender part of the hinge to force it over.

Fender shims?

[Peanut74]

I thought about fender shims but have never seen them used for the hood hinge. Just wanted to see what everyone did to address this issue. Utube was no help and I haven't been able to find any help on the forum. The ones I have found only address the rear of the hood or front alignment

Mine was off about 1/16" when I put it on, I thought about slotting the hinges a little wider but my body guy came buy, looked at it, opened it up and just violently pushed it over toward the wide side a few times.
It lined it up perfectly.
