I have known about this hood flapping effect since the very beginning and with all the meets I've attended, never thought to ask others in person.

Do the hood and fender lines match? Mine do nicely. Is it possible that the front clip is high? I'm talking about the hardware that screws together over the radiator and such. Not sure if I'm using the right terms.
My hood matches the fender down the sides. By "flapping" I see more of a vibration visible at the passenger side edge of the hood. I either need to be looking for it, or the sun needs to be reflecting off the edge of the fender just right. I think for a while I had my hood stops a bit too high and maybe the front corners warped a bit over time?

My eventual solution will be latches and/or vents, but I'm procrastinating to see how much I actually want to mod the frs lol. 9 years and counting...
