Brad,
Many hoods sit up slightly because of the worn hood hinges and bolts.  The 
springs have enough strength to push up the rear of the hood, causing a poor 
fit.  Mine did the same thing, even after I replaced the bolts.  Removing the 
springs cured the problem.  The hood looks good while closed, but a "prop 
rod" is needed to keep the hood open for maintenance, etc.  Try it on yours.
