My hood looked like someone stood on it, so i found one on Craigslist a while back and bought it. After i got the hood home and inspected it better it had a bunch of little dings and was kind of rusty so i thought that i would try to save my original hood since it is completely rust free. I forgot to take pictures of the process, but what i did was take a piece of 1" square tube and slightly bend it to the contour of the hood i bought on Craigslist. I then trimmed the ends of the tube so it would slide under the front and rear supports of the hood and capped off the ends. I put some POR 15 on it and installed it under the hood and tacked it in. I then took the support off another junk hood i had and installed it in the center of my hood to cover up the square tube and give it a "factory appearance. It turned out really good and now my hood is a lot stiffer.
Something else i realized today is that the rust repair is 100% complete.
