My SS hood on my 72' has a slight bend in the middle. When looking at it there a a crack at on of the stamping towards the outer middle.

Has other people had this problem? How would I straighten it out? Should I try to push down on it with it closed and weld up the crack?

Hey good question because I noticed on mine that the drivers side point between the center and the headlight has a slight bow upwards on it. I guess its from the wreck the car went through a long time ago.

I have seen other cars with the same problem unless I am just being too picky about how everything lines up. Nobody has had a problem like this with there hood http://www.chevelles.com/forum/rolleyes.gif?
