Question about a 1931 Chevy Sedan

I bought a 1931 Chevrolet 2 door Sedan and I am told that the headlight bar is a 29 or 30 because it has three mounting holes on each side. The fenders don't appear to be patched, so I am wondering if they are a previous year. Also, the sides of the hood are flush at the back but ride high of the fender in front about 3/4 of an inch. The front latches will not raise up enought to latch. The fenders are bolted directly to the frame with nothing in between, maybe there should be spacers. Can anyone advise?

It is titled as a 1931, but that is easily done. It has a re-issued Californis vin number. It would be nice to know for sure, so buying parts would be easier. Should there bo spacers between the frame and fenders? As I said before, the back of the hood comes down to the fender but in front it is about 3/4 inch higher. You couls probably shim it up, but I would like to do what is right.

I am going to remount the body and fenders, can you tell me what kind of spacers or shims go where as there are apparently none now. Or maybe point me in the right direction. Thanks
