Raising the bonnet is one method. You may have additional mounting holes
on the core support where you can lower the radiator. If you don't you
can drill new ones slightly lower. The trick is to keep the radiator
fill lip higher than the top water inlet otherwise you may not fill the
engine completely with water and have air in the system which will
hinder circulation and cooling. Can you use a cap without the vent lever
and get low enough for clearance. To get rid of the ding you may want to
call a local ding repairer in the yellow pages or manually tap it back
yourself or use a Ding King system using a glue gun and suction cup
underneath. I expect you'll have paint damage on that spot regardless
unless the dent is minimal and you have original paint or exceptional
paint adhesion.

John, the front end height of the bonnet can be adjusted by first
removing
the front bumper-ettes (aka the boobs in front of the bumper) then
adjusting
the height of the bolts holding the bonnet hinge tubes.
