Body Guru's

This is sort of a continuation of THIS thread of my daughter crashing the 300SD. Everything went back together and with the help of Phil at Fastlane and some great forum members the remainder of the parts are en-route I have repaired the hood where it will close and open properly.....but the driver side sticks up about 3/4 of an inch. I am fairly competent in body repair but not sure how to approach getting that side of the hood back into its .... original position. I solicit your thoughts

Hoods are the ultimate challenge. Until a new one appears,,, live with it. JMHO.

Fixed - Armed with a 4 Large C Clamps, Come-a-long, 2x4's and a bottle jack we un-tweeked the hood. That was a nice feeling on that last close of the hood and it lined up like it always had.
