The Ford Barn

Need help, advice on my 33 coupe, I have a half inch or so gap between my hood and grill. The center strip is adjusted all the way up with the front and rear brackets. The hood gap is good at the cowl, but short in the grill top area. Seems like the radiator needs more tilt. I also have a small gap where the hood latches are near the fenders, Any thoughts/tricks on this? Thanks

Can you take a photo of from the top at the grille to hood and one of the side to the grille and one more from the bottom of the hood to the inner fender. Maybe one at the sides of the cowl would help too.

There's a reason that '33-'34 grills originally had flat black paint between the raised portion of the grill and the hood lacing on the grill.
