Help-Hood problems

[Kim57]

This ism on my 57
I posted earlier about the trouble trying to make my hood tilt forward and the rear corners rubbing when opening so i was going back to the stock hinges.
Well I bought some repopped hinges and installed them.
As my original mounts were gone from the fire wall I mounted them to my hood and put the hood on the truck and marked where the bolts needed to go.
Got everything installed nice gaps all around and when I open the hood it goes back and the back edge hits the cowl before coming up.
I did have to add about a 1/4" to the rear of the hood to make all the gaps nice when it was even with the front fenders.
It doesn't matter how much I adjust the hood in any direction I can't stop it from hitting the cowl.
I am about as frustrated as I have ever been on this truck right now.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry for the long post.
