I'm just finishing up putting my '86 sedan back together from the deer dodging incident. I found and had painted the hood and DS fender. The fender installed without a hitch, but the hood is another animal. I was able to get it bolted up with no problem and when I close it down, it aligns perfectly with the edges of both front fenders. The issue is that it sits jacked up along the entire edge of the windshield side almost 1/2 inch. I sits high and not flush also on both sides of both fenders equally about a 1/3rd of the way towards the front of the car. The original damaged hood did not do this and opened and closed with ease. Where should I start looking to adjust this? I'm almost ready to take to a collision center and have them lay their hands on it and heal it.

Thanks for looking.
