Re: '55 International Metal/Body/Paint Work
The left side of the hood line up great with the cowl, but the right side was bent out 1 7/16".
  1 7/16" gap on the driver side.  I cut three slices in the inner brace while it was on the truck, pulled the hood into shape, then tack welded the brace back together. This pulled the hood edge back into place against the cowl. The cuts were fully welded up and the weld beads smoothed down.  After cutting and reshaping the brace, much better fit.   Left side still looks good after reshaping the right side.
