The Ford Barn

As my 40 P/U nears completion I am finding I can not align the hood and grille or figure out how the latch is going to work. No matter what I do the hood seems to be off a quater of an inch to the center of the grill. I did use new drake inner fenders and the passenger side had to be trimmed to allow the fender to drop down. I may have to trim more to get that fender down a little more but it seems the front fenders need to shift to the passenger side about 1/4 inch. I have I believe a good fender brace between the fenders but I am at a loss of how to do this. And of course everything is painted, any help would be appreciated. Thanks
