Wood block between 21 body and frame

My 21 touring hood slants down towards the rear of the car which indicates the body has to be raised a half of an inch or so for the hood to be straight. The radiator is bolted to the body with only the leather in between so I cannot lower it any. What am I missing? Frank

Like all T's, your car has a bowed frame. The only true fix is to re-arch the frame

as well as the rabbit holes it takes you down.
On the bright side, friends have had success at friendly frame shops, with body attached.

Just a thought -
When I took my '18 TT apart I discovered that the radiator (which should have been a low radiator) had been replaced with a high one. Nothing lined up. Of course I replaced it with the correct radiator, but at the time my learning curve was steep.
