Do you have pictures showing where you welded and where the oil can is??
I have several pics of what I've done on the hood starting on #686 of my build thread.
The top of the hood was welded at the front seam and the spot welds at the rear where the rear brace attaches. All other work was done on the front and sides of the hood.
