Default Hood to fender gaps

Not at all happy with the hood to fender gaps. I guess that's not surprising, considering I haven't been very pleased with much of this build, as far as body gaps go. 🤣
The gaps at the very front and rear are good, but it's like the hood/fenders are bowed in the middle. When I lay a straight edge along the length, I can see some daylight, so it is bowed a little.
I went ahead and added a 1/8" thick piece of metal along the length of the hood, to help close it off.
Hopefully, I can finish it off tomorrow. 14 and 15 hour days at work are taking it's toll on me.🥱





Looser than a hooker on 50 cent night





Ends are good. about 3/16" or a little less



Middle is about 1/4" No bueno



1/8" x 1/2" flat bar, welded along the edge and ground down. Bottom side
