    Body work on Hood.

    I got this hood out of a Junk yard. It was a BIG improvement from my previous one. The downside of this one, is the hit on the left side. Also it seems to be slightly warped on the right side.However, I'm not entirely sure. As you can see from the picture the right-side fender has some damage. I'm left with two conclusions regarding the hood: 1). The hood is warped. 2) The right side fender is damaged, thus making the hood look warped.

    If the hood is warped I might consider replacing it. If it's only damaged on the left side, I would love to tackle on the job of fixing the hood.

    I also can't seem to post multiple pictures through my iPhone, so I'll have add them individually.

      Posting again

      I'm left wondering how I would repair the hood, if it's repairable. Old schools hammer and block kit?

        it looks like it just needs to be aligned but to be honest it's hard to tell from photos.

        try this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiVU0fR8vlA
        and this: http://www.rtsauto.com/how-to-align-...l-by-yourself/

        from the looks of your situation you're going to need to try both methods since the video only aligns front to back/up and down.

          That's what it blthough at first, but it's actually the left-front corner near the headlights. It seems it took a hit and the corner rolled in a bit. I'll post a video and higher quality pictures soon.

              Right front side.

              Notice how the left side is a tad more curved than the right side.

                may not be oem.. and yes you could use a hammer and dolly, but its gonna need paint once you take to it with a hammer and dolly so be forewarned. Also don't buy a bondo brand set or harbor freight one, it will create more work. Matco and snap on hammers are really nice but they are made by martin so you may be able to save some money by getting a martin set or hammer. Here is what I would advise you to get http://www.ebay.com/itm/snapon-body-...item19f22fd0f8 or something similar
