Frame straight? I have no idea. I didn't even think of checking that when I had the body off. Hindsight is always better than foresight, as they say. This car was really in great condition so I didn't even think of a problem with the frame. I know that I should have checked it but it's too late now.
I was looking at the hood again this morning (sometimes things can change after a good night's sleep). The left side seems to line up pretty well. The right side is a different story. I'll play with it a little more in the next few days and try your suggestions and let you know how it goes. Thanks for your reply.
