The ’55 was still out getting it’s gearbox built so I made the most of the space and did some more work on the hood. It had oilcanned where it got run over, and despite my best efforts I wasnt happy with how the repairs to the damage on the front edge came out. I spent a few hours getting the curve at the top front edge right, then cut out the really bad sections with a narrow cutting disk so that I could reshape them before welding them back in.<\/p>\n

The corner was really bad, and I ended up filing the edges down so that I could stretch the dent out to somewhere near it’s original shape. Working with tiny tacks at a time to try and stop it distorting was hard work, and looks ugly. Once it’s all ground out it should look OK tho. I also tacked the cross brace back in to hold it in shape, and with a load more hammering it popped back the right way on the top and stayed there. It needs a fair bit more work to smooth it down, but it’s getting there. I ran out of time as I didnt want to rush it with the welds, so it’s back on the truck out of the way for now.<\/p>\n
