flimsy original hood?
my original hood (30,000 mile truck) is very flimsy. anyone have any luck stiffening them? it dips down with very little pressure, from your finger anywhere in the flat of either side, the guy that was supposed to block sand it and paint it gave it back to me because he said he couldn't block it properly.
i checked a few others and they were very flimsy too.
I bought the pads to go between the inner braces and the outer skin but he said they didn't help.
I was at a friends shop yesterday, and he was blocking a 72 hood and i couldn't see anything between the braces and the skin , but that hood seemed like it was 6 gauges heavier metal than mine. you would have to apply a whole lot of pressure with your finger to depress it any at all?
I went to the second owner since he started the body work and paint, and asked if he had sandblasted it or anything and he said no it was 100% original and no work ever done to it.(my hood)
I plan on putting some body adhesive between the braces and skin if I have to but wanted to see if you guys have other tricks?
