hoods not cooperating

i took the hood off my 49 f-1 and did some minor body and primer on it about 1 year ago. went to put it back on and its not fitting real well. its about
1 1/2" too wide and not sure how to reshape it without screwing it up. i didnt do any work to that area just think it kind of flattened out. any ideas?

1 1/2" ?? Something sure has changed. Was the hood fitting before you did the repair work?

It didn't have little tennis shoe tracks on top of it, did it?
