truck is a 67 suburban. i went with some grant hinges way back when because the stock hinges had to go for the air ride. after figuring a way to get the hood struts mounted, the hood sits a little too far forward for my liking. i installed new hood bumper stops in the front and those need a little adjustment as well. i know the gaps were terrible from the factory....and im not building a show truck by any means. but would this be "acceptable"? lol. the thing bothering me most i think is the cowl gap. i do have the cowl to hood seal that will help hide it some.....but not sure since its not on. all the panels still need some tweaking like the doors and cowl panel for sure....

what to do? the hood has absolutely no adjustment.....
