Well ,I took a break on the trunk and worked on the new hood. The new hood had been smashed in on it's right side edge. First, I worked the basic shape back into it,then I had to cut some of back brace out and hammer and block the edge back into it.Then weld and grind it back. I now have a nice straight edge on the side of the hood. I hope the hood fits good on the car!!! Will find out later ......Back to welding and grinding in the trunk.
