Hood problems

I am sure someone else has had this problem. My hood is sticking up where it runs along my fenders. The hood, both fenders, and front assembly are new(thanks to the guy who smashed it )

THe gap is good on both sides, and the nose gap is fine. WHen you get to the very front of the fender, the hood is fine. Is there a way to adjust my hood down.


My and my father did the body work ourselves, he has been a professional body man for 25 years. He knew it was like that, and said we would take care of it, but we live in different states now, and he is very busy with the shop. So i would like to care care of this my self if possible. Any ideas, i can post a pic later if it doesn't rain.

thanks

hey,
dont know if you tried this already but the one side of my hood was the same way. underneith the hood on each side are like rubber things the size of a nickle. they screw up and down. all you might have to do is screw yours up a little. hope it helps
