Now onto the hood, I got this lid in a trade and it has always felt a little heavy to me, lets see what is lurking under this paint!
 Merry Christmas, your present is Bondo!  A lot of it!  After stripping away pounds of Bondo it looks like this lid is actually pretty clean, it just suffered from the two most common injuries that happen to these lids. The dent where you put your hand to close it, someone closed the lid on a strangely shaped, too big object, oh and there are a few rock dings. I can totally work with this, an afternoon with a hammer and dolly will get this straight, I think the last person just added Bondo until the high points were hidden, yikes!  |

Cleaned up the back.
 ohh shiny! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) Oh the 220V to the garage is done too, trench is almost undetectable already!  Then shot the whole thing in primer again, looks about the same as before but about 10 pounds lighter!  |

I thought you might strip the steel skin & replace it with Alum or FG.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) You'd think you could lose some of the factory bracing since the hood won't have to support itself anymore. A little less weight. Very cool! |

I am going to need to do 2 welds on each side of the hood to attach it to fill the panel gap. I cut a 1/4" wide strip of 1/8' steel and tacked it on.
 Between the fold in the fender and the 1/8" material I could sink some good heat into the tacks, but went slow and tacked every inch or so, then every 1/2" then slowly filled in the gaps.  3 feet of weld down, 9 more to go!  |

I got both filler strips welded on
 Ground the weld down 75% of the way or so, filler strips are also still wide. You can see I also masked the edges of the hood when I primered it so I have a clean edge to weld to, forethought? What's that?  I mounted the fenders, laid the lid on them, now I will mark and cut the hood opening, then weld it in.  |

I got the fenders aligned and mounted.
 Cut down my oversized fenders to fit the lid, (sheetmetal screw included for added accuracy).  Here we go!  Hood is tacked on, gaps still look good, time to fully weld the lid on and move on to rebuilding the front inner sheet metal.  |

Finished welding the lid on, also welded in a filler panel for the old radiator opening.
 I am going to re-cut the front opening once I get the bumper figured out but I really think the hole can be much smaller than it was before. We were just copying the design for the V8 cars at the time but I think that is way oversized now that I have lived with the car for a while.  Then I finished the welds, should be able to finish this seam with a light skim coat of filler. (found another dent in the hood too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) )  Next I am going to rebuild the structure that attaches the front hood structure to the nose of the car and make some headlight filler pieces.  |
