That fits good. Glad to see you got this issue fixed.
I agree with Alchemy you should grind the edges of the two pieces down even with each other. I did that on my 32 coupe, and went one step further and welded up the edges and filed them down smooth so that there is no more gap. Here are photos showing before and after welding.

I don't have photos of the finished edges, but believe me it looks so much better than having two separate pieces of sheet metal with small gaps between them everywhere.

That does look a lot nicer, but I'm running a full hood and want to have this thing done as soon as the salt is off the roads here in New Hampshire... I'm blazing on to the next hurdle
