Question Fiberglass Hood

Has anyone found a way to adjust a fiberglass hood to match the curves on a car? The Cutlass Supreme I purchased has a fiberglass hood and the curvature does not match the fenders.

Any suggestions?

What brand hood did you buy?

The only way to change the curvature of a fiberglass part is to cut it up and re-fiberglass it back together. I'm ASSUMING that you have adjusted the hood bumpers, latch, and hinges correctly.

If you mean the rear edge of the hood going up too far, I think that is the nature of the beast. Mine is like that and I have seen a lot of others like that. If you are talking about the cheaper all fiberglass hood that is....
