Looking at the bottom side of the hood, all of the structure uses a radius where the parts intersect, so we may as well follow suit.. Holes were cut in some 19 Gauge and corners cut out..

Corners TIG welded and welds dressed..

The area our brace will cover is abraded so we can get it covered with epoxy primer before installing the brace.

Brace is media blasted to prep for epoxy primer, and test fit to the hood.. Once the epoxy sets up a couple days we'll get the brace welded in..
