I'm having  troubles with the fitment of my hood. Its off a 57 Fleetwood sedan now on my 57 coupe deville. Anyone know if they are the same exact hood. I'm sure Eldorado is different but not sure on this. Also trying to figure out if there should be a  Gap between the Fender and the bumper I would assume so seeing as how when I close the hood the gap between the Fender and the hood is extremely tight it leaves me with a gap on the sides of my bumper. I've looked at several different pictures can't really tell. It's somebody owns one of these cars and clear this up for me I would really appreciate it.
