We are in need of a shop that can realine our front end so a hood will fit on our car,  It seems that when our hood decided to come up on us it caused the front end to move out by one inch.  Due to this any hood is now 1 inch to small for the space.  We are located in the Jacksonville, Fl area and are willing to travel some to find someone that can restore the front end to before the incident shape.  
If you know of any shops that might be able to do the job, please contact us.

Any competent body shop should be able to handle the job, you could do it yourself by just loosening the bolts holding the fenders at the radiator support and moving the fenders out until the hood fits and re tighten. The left or right alignment of the hood atthe nose can be adjusted at the hinges.

yeah, like Jalopy45 said you can just go to most any hot rod shop, or body shop should be able to handle that.
