The hood edge is pretty much dead straight where it meets the wings, so I clamped a piece of box section to it as a guide and set about it with the hammers. With it striaght I could see how bad the front edge was, about an inch too high and the inner crossmember was bent that much too. That took a lot of hammering, clamping and levering to get it back where it should be. I tacked it all up and test fitted it and it looks pretty good so far. Still needs plenty of work, but getting there.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/files\/Hood-Edge.jpg\" alt=\"Hood Edge\" width=\"443\" height=\"346\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I spent last weekend working on the hood again, and got the crossmember out so that I could repair the dents and the crossmember itself.
