frame twisted a little bit, need some help...

[tiptop]

thanks for looking and helping me if you can, i recently bought a 91 mustang lx 4 cylinder car, i ve stripped it down to bare metal, and am putting it back together, but i ran into a huge problem, The frame or something is twisted a little bit, enough to throw the hood off 3/4 of an inch from the front of the hood, to the drivers side fender, when i close the hood, there is a 3/4 inch gap, to the front of the fender, another problem is that my hood will not close, because the latch on the 2nd lock is the same, 3/4 inch out, the body seems perfect, no bent metal anywhere, everything looks nice and straight, no paint peeling or ripples on the metal under the hood, but something is wrong somewhere? any gusses?

also, if i messure from the center of the firewall, to the center of the first bolt holding the fender on, its 40 1/2 on passenger side, but 41 inches on the drivers side, same thing from center of firewall to tip of front fender 3/4 inches out, and when i measure in a x pattern to the firewall behind the hinge to the little ground bolt beside the rubber hood stops its also 3/4 inches out, thanks.
