Will a 1987 Buick Regal Hood fit on a 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme? It is a fiberglass hood with a 4" cowl.

How close does the hood come to hitting? Is it possible to sand it down or cut it? Remember, its unpainted fiberglass.
I can't really answer that as I have never tried it. Just google some pictures and have a look. The sides should line up pretty good. It's at the nose you have to worry about. The body lines will be the biggest obstacle - the Cutlass hood dips in the middle, while the Regal hood is raised in the middle.
It looks like both are pretty striaght across the front, but no idea if the length is close. Making the body lines look right would be almost impossible though IMHO.

I don't know if the hood will interchange with the OLDS header panel and fenders, but I hav seen personally, an OLDS with a complete REGAL front clip on it, and it looked fine. As a matter of fact, this car was in the "U-Pull it" a few months back. I know that the ODS and BUICK use the same inner fenderwells, which are a ROYAL-PITA to remove. HTH's

That is easily done because Regal & Cutlass doors are the same, so if you swap the complete front clip, everything fits perfect.
