The receiver side of the hood latch can be adjusted, and the extension of the latch finger itself can be changed--it's got a screw thread that you turn against the spring. You may be able to reposition one or both so the hood closes without having to replace any of the body members. (Is the hood straight?)

If you try this, do it without a grille in place, so you can get to the mechanism from below in case the hood latches and doesn't want to release.

You don't want to be driving on the highway with the hood flopping against the safety catch. If it flopped enough it might break that catch and then you would get quite a surprise.

Good luck.
