Nice quick change! From everything I've seen and heard on these early fords as far as sheet metal alignment, is basically there were no tight specs at the factory, at all. That's why some doors don't fit well on some bodies. We repainted a 39 Ford when I worked in a body shop years ago. When we got to fitting the front sheet metal, we welded a new inner lip on and then drilled new holes. We had to add some to the back of the hood to get the hood to meet the grill and for the hood to sit correct at the back near the cowl. It was a PITA, but I learned a lot, bled a lot too.
