that seems like a really odd way to do it... margin for error is very small...
even if you cut and section, its still a crap shoot on wether it fits right even after doing all that

yup...its a poor cheap design and a poor choice by me. im just trying to think of ways to remedy the gaps so trying to scoot the hood back is the first step. the front hood gap i guess isnt THAT bad but it does annoy me a little. same with the cowl gap, although that can be fixed with a welding rod welded to the back of the hood the same way the door gaps are fixed.

well, if i went that route i would at least be left with patch panels to cover up the current brackets. but im more worried about trying cut the welded on brackets off the hood without damaging the hood.
