Default 68 GTO Hood Adjustment

What is the best way to lower the rear of the hood? When I close it the rear of the hood likes to stay about 1/8" above the fenders .. pushes right down by hand. Rear hinge to fender bolts are adjusted all the way down. I raised the front of the hinge in hopes it would kick the rear down some, results were inconclusive, I still have room to raise the front of the hinge farther up.

Hinges are not sloppy, and are well lubricated and move freely.

Also, it would be nice if I could shift the entire hood to the right slightly, about 1/16" .. it fits in the fenders square, but the gap on the right is a bit wider than the left. Are the hinges ever shimmed between the hinge and fender?

Thanks,
