Tonight I built the brace that tucks up under the inner fender and is basically a repair for where the hood hinges bolt through. Isn't factory looking, but will work well enough after blasting, epoxy, rubber coating, etc.. I have to build a couple more and then plug weld them in place. I had to repair the metal skin on top of them but I forgot to take pictures. I repaired those a few days ago. One side looks really good. The other is ok and will need a little more finishing work to pass quality control (my wife's keen eye).
