I begun to address the top side of the hood by: 1) placing it on my pickup bed while siting on a rollable cart using a palm sander; 2) being outside as the wind blows the dust away from my breathing zone; & 3) spending only 1 hr on.the task to ensure the safety of myself, whether it be hand or shoulder soreness. I plan to work the hood over multiple weeks as there is quit a lot of effort needed to prepare the hood properly for primer and paint. Pic show the effort thus far. I located 2 other hood attachment pieces that I have put in vinegar for cleanup
