Default 79 Stinger Hood Saga

Bought a Stinger Hood off of craigslist and the front of the hood stuck up about 3/4 inch. The body shop said it would take a couple thousand too make it fit right. So I bought another stinger hood from Ecklers, just got it in Monday. Installed it today. Same fit, the front tip bugles up. Anyone have this problem or heard of it. The front end has been replaced by previous owner.
