Thank you everyone for the helpful replys! I loosened the 4 bolts on the hood so I could close it. I was comparing my hood hinges to my friend's and I can see the rear small hinge is bent on both sides. I'm going to get some hinges of a car at the pick n pull tomorrow and will deal with the body damage later because there is really nothing I can do about it.
