Default just bought my car and got a ?

I bought my car about 2 weeks ago and i noticed the hood doesnt line up exactly right at the hinges. Its just a little tiny bit off but i do notice it. The carfax came back clean so i dont think it had a wreck. Would this be a fairly easy thing to line back up?

You just said in your other posts you've been wrenching for 4 years.The hoods got 4 bolts in it.

Check under the hood to see if all factory stickers are still on them and see if the hood is not an off color. Do the same with the fenders. I know on Honda's, the vehicle VIN numbers are stamped on the fenders. If you want to know if they've ever been replaced, check it out

Just for the record. I've seen a number of 350's that the bonnets don't line up properly from the factory when they were still a pretty new thing.
