Read the archives, helpful, but not exactly my problem. My 78 L82 hood seems to fit OK heightwise relative to the nose and fenders in the front and rear, and side to side. But when I shut the hood, the middle is about 1/8 or so lower than the fender, but the front and back are still pretty level. Can't tell for sure if the car has ever had front end work, but everything else seems to line up OK (urethane bumper, doors to front fenders, etc. I always assume the worst on this project, but seems that bad body work would not present this way?
It seems as if somehow the hood has been 'flattened out' in the middle. I've read of bulges in the middle, but this is just the opposite. Don't see how shims front or rear will help as the front and rear seem to be OK. So I'm throwing myself on the mercy of the experts.
