oldman3, Thank you. This time I am going the cut the whole step formed center out and put a 1.5" piece in. I will do it in pieces that way the hood does not loose its shape. Then I can hammer and dolly it back to shape. The last one I only welded in 5/8" strip in so it was double thickness and it still had the 90 degree bend on it. I had to grind the 90 degree bend off and then it was still hard to hammer and dolly. That might be the project for the week end.
