Default ws6 hood fitment

okay so the ws6 hood on my ls1 front end conversion does quite fit right, its about 1/4 inch away from the headlights, whats the best way to adjust it to fit?

i havent adjusted the headlights and from what i can see it will only help a little bit but the back end is off a little bit too, its more towards the drivers side, so i think im going to have to drill new holes.

here are pics

The hood/hood brackets are what need adjusted.The top edge of the hood (by the windshield) should line up with the top edge of the fender in the last pic.

elongate the hinge holes using a dremel or porting tool its soft aluminum so its pretty easy, the entire hood needs to come forward, good luck
