The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop Hood 70 C10 issue

I posted this in my journal, but thought I’d ask here too:

I started sanding on the “new, good” 1970 C10 hood and am questioning things. The skin isn’t what I’d call “tight, tight.” I see serious highs and lows that I figured weren’t as bad as I thought as I ran my hand over the surface. It isn't quite canning, but bounces up and down , and isn’t tight. The right side is pretty serious as you can see in the picture. I’d rather not have to use filler over most of the hood. Weird thing though, is that it is almost symmetrical left to right, with the right being more advanced. I’m wondering if new vibration pads will help enough to warrant “little filler.” Anybody run into similar? Thoughts, Bolters?
