The top of the driver’s side headlight door (eyebrow) on my 66 coupe droops at a harsher angle than I feel it should. The result is a triangle-shaped gap between the hood corner and the eyebrow. It’s as if the hood and eyebrow aren’t on the same “plane,” if that makes sense. Is there a way to manipulate or reshape the top of the headlight door so that it comes off the fender more gradually and matches the slope of the hood? Can it be bent up with some pressure without ruining it? Thanks!

The fenders spread out ,it can be squeezed back in place but you will need to unbolt the whole front of it ,grab it by the inside point and by the side and gently squeeze it until it lines up with the headlight door ,it bends easily so be careful
