That guy seams like he knows what hes doing for sure... I always wanted to learn how to do that stuff and be able to make some neat stuff. Maybe when I grow up lol

Its actually very handy... and with a little practice it works great with very little effort. Wish I had bought it before all the other patching I did.

Never used one but I think it's what you're looking for.

Please don't abandon the fog lights! I really considered the same thing you're thinking, just doesn't fit my build as well as it would yours! Is there something out there that you could graft in?
Aw man... I have GOT to get me some of these metal working tools and start learning... So much I could do with the right tools. That hood might just get redone in the future If I get a hold of these tools... I actually am thinking of doing some of the same scoops as the hood on a smooth tailgate but not as deep and with no openings.... just as a detail to match.... maybe
