That's good actually. Do you have access to a nail gun?

If not, some of what @Rjaaaaaa says is true. You have a couple access holes underneath that will allow you to push some.

First thing you will want to do is to pull the front end of it straight as you can. Keep checking with the gap to the header panel. You'll want a slide hammer for this maneuver.

Once you have that front line as straight as you can get it, show another picture of how it looks and I'll help some more.

OR, go to a salvage yard and find a straight hood. They should be pretty cheap. The only reason I suggest this is that without the proper tools, this can be a little bit of a pita to fix.

If you want me to call you it'll be much quicker explaining what you need to do over the phone. I'm guessing you're no where near Oklahoma, huh?

PM me if you want me to give you a call.

You really need to get some pointers from jrichker
If you plan to post "how to " instructions this is terrible and too short.

It looks good. It will sell. Torch the springs and lower it. Some kid will want it.
