[Spridgets] Bonnet Alignment tips?

[Lester]

I would like some as well!  I can get hood to A pillar gaps even and  
maybe even hood to cowl gap good BUT then the alignment pins up front  
will NOT go into the alignment holes..  and I followed Frank's advice  
and took the hood gasket out so that the hood is now level with the  
cowl..

Thanks,

Lester
