R/T hood front edge shape

[northstart]

Hello,
I have an original R/T hood which seems to be slightly bent down in center of the front edge.

What should be the distance of front edge center level to the corners level? The measure of blue line In the attached picture (pic is not from my car).

Is the shape convex or straight to center from the corners, when looked directly from front?

Thanks!

Here is a pic of my front end while the car was in storage; appears to go straight across when compared to the top of the grill. Hope this helps.

I got out the laser and it shows 1/2” higher in the center but keep in mind that the hood is relatively flexible at that point. I can flex it up and down that 1/2” with ease.

Great, thanks a lot! It's a bit tricky to see it from pictures but laser tells it all

I saw your post and as I have the hood lip trim off at the moment I thought I would check mine - I got curious.
Mine is the same as Matt's 1/2 an inch higher in the centre than the outer corners.
From a distance and up close given Challenger's are pretty low to the ground it would be fairly hard to pick up that 1/2 inch with your eye.
The hood does appear flat to me if I stand back.
Bent down is probably not right.
