Little update here.

I had the alignment about 90% of the way there, but couldn't get the backside of the hood on the driver's side flush with the panel.
It was about 1/2 inch too high.

I slipped a ratchet strap between the back end of the hood hinge mount and the rim of my tire.
Loosened the bolts a bit, and tightened the ratchet. It worked, but still not perfect. It's about a 1/8inch too high at the moment.

Any ideas?

I gotta grab some of the 1/4 inch bumpers to lift the front end up a bit too.
