Hood alignment

Hi seabee, I own a 68 Barracuda with the exact same problem in the exact same area of the hood. My car is in the process of being restored, first I noticed that I installed the hood bumpers on the fenders upside down, corrected it didn't make a difference, second lowered the hood latch a bit more didn't make a difference, third I tried adjusting the two round hood bumpers at the front of the car, nothing. I haven't touched the hinges yet, I'm a bit parnoid it will put the other areas out of wack also.Very frustrating, I hope someone will answer your question and hopefully we both can benefit.
