Ok, I know nothing about your build, but I will tell you, from my experience, the lengthening of the hood is the whole issue. First off, the pivot angle didn't change. The distance from the hinge pivot point to the rear of the hood is what changed.

You "fixed" the wrong thing, you "fixed" the correct part and what was making the hood gap too large was left unfixed. Why was the gap large, it wasn't large from the factory, what changed that? What ever changed it is what SHOULD HAVE been corrected. I am thinking the rad support was modified or the mounting of the rad support was modified dropping the front of the fenders down, which brought the back of the hood forward.

THAT is what needs to be corrected, you modified the hood and that is the problem.
