Fiberglass hood a little bowed...trying to fix.

[65fastbackresto]

I get my hood outta the box from Stangoholics, it looks great, I stick it on the car. Fits fairly well for fiberglass with the exception of where the hood meets the cowl area. It is low in the center where the hood scoop is. I took a peice of cloth and folded it up last night and wedged it under the low spot, and closed the hood on it (its just resting on it for now, no springs on the hinges and its not completely shut). With just the weight of the hood resting on it it lines up very well which makes me wonder if I should park it out in the sun that way? Would it help? Would it hurt? Anyone tried this?

use another bracket like the ones on each back corner of the hood
they attach to the cowl under the hood seal you wont even know its
there its hidden by the rubber. there adjustable so you can raise the
center up and down . this will fix the sag
