Re: hood bending
Hinges are good now, was this way when I bought it. I am guessing the PO bent it, just trying to align it better.

Re: hood bending
Stick a block of wood at the hood latch area and get a friend to hold the opposite side of the hood while you lightly press down the side you are trying to get the bow out of. Do this several times in small increments to avoid damaging the hood.
