EricJ Wrench Fetcher E Joined: Jul 2011 Posts: 55 Indiana	Okay here is a stupid question. On my '37 one of the hood pieces is forming a crack. Is there any way to get ahead of this before is cracks all the way? Also I have other folds and cracks that are quite brittle is there a way to soften or relax the metal? Thanks for any advice you can provide> Eric
