Default 29 coupe frame sag?

After attempting to fit the hood to an otherwise sound, older restoration on which the hood was never properly fitted, it appears that the frame has sagged. What are the chances? The gap at hood/cowl widens from pinstripe going down to cowl bottom. It fits well across the cowl top and radiator shell top. The gap is even top/bottom at radiator shell sides. If sagged, it seems that it would happen at, or just ahead of the cowl. Could it be corrected on a frame machine without disassembling the car?
Thanks.
