Re: Bent hood

I could not find any pics of what I did, but here is my post from another thread

Placed two (2) 3" 2x2's under the hood in the channel at the side, one (1) near the front and the other just in front of the hinge. Took a 4x4 and placed it under the 2x2's and clamped in place with some rubber clamps. Placed a 6" 2x4 on the hood on a towel. Measured the distance I need to squeeze the hood and put a 3/4" pipe clamp on there and squeezed slowly. Over squeezed a little and waited. Removed and checked. Repeat as needed. No damage.
