Got out there and got it the barest of a fraction of an inch down. But it is still to high, looks like it is the frame shop for me. Gonna be a while though. Thank you for the help!!!

Thank you! It is a new hood, the old one got a pretty good grove put in it. The truck just had to be lifted. The springs are fine I think because I went out and pushed on it like you said and it did not do anything. I guess it is to the frame shop I go. Thank you anyway.

I recently purchased a 280z and was happily driving it home from work on the second day when I blew a brake line. I went sliding down the nice wet hill and hit a truck. I have now replaced the fender and the hood but I can't seem to get the hood to sit properly. The inner fender was crused in the impact (where the hood mount goes) and I flattened it out best I could, took careful measurements from the other side and drilled new mounting holes. Not as pretty as I like but it is the best I could do. The front of the hood sits to high though, about a quarter of an inch. What really buggers me about it is that it is even on both sides, both the drivers (crunched) and passengers (non-crunched). I have no idea what to do about it and it is terrible to see my poor z in pain.
