Thank you all for each of your input! Well, hit the garage after work today, with a much calmer demeanor :glasses7: and am glad to say I got the hood square away nicely. Started with 76orangewagon & torkflight's suggestion.

Good thing is, I learned a lot today. Now to touch up the paint I scraped off the cowl...
