This is the opposite of what I plan on doing. This Dakota hood was made into a cowl hood, I'll remove what bracing I can and leave the skin but as you can see there's a lot of weight I can remove. I have a spare hood I'll be cutting up just in case it turns into junk.
Lay out some fine mesh or screen give it a lite primer dusting too see the spots and start Swiss Cheezing the braces.
