Also - leave the rad supt bolts and top (vertical) fender bolts loose, to allow the radiator support/front fenders to shift side-to-side. This will allow you to fit the hood (hood to fender gaps). Once you've done that then you can torque and seat all the fasteners.

Agree with Keith about leaving the bolts loose. Never tighten any bolt down until you get your adjustments right. I've never mounted the inner fender onto the outer fender for the reason I stated earlier; I was always doing it all by myself. If I had help I may have tried it that way.
