The rear brace was very intimidated for me and I almost decided to just replace the ends of the brace where the rust through was but I knew there was rust lurking under the brace so off it went. It wasn't as tough of a job as I thought it going to be and there was some rust that I media blasted then coated with rust reformer and rust encapsulater. Same procedure for the new donor brace. I welded in the patches where the brace mounts to the hood. Today I'm going to give the rear of the hood and the under side of the brace a couple of coats of extreme chassis black from Eastwood. Then installation of the brace to the hood. I have test fitted it and everything lines up very nicely.
