I checked our your build thread - Awesome fab work Bigglass!!
Please post some pics of your 1/8" rod on the hood edge.

This is the only pic I could find at the moment (zoomed in), before grinding. I tacked rod onto the back 12" or so... Then I scribed an even gap and grind to fit. That is a hard area of the hood to work on. As you weld, it shrinks and sinks. Due to the brace on the inside, you can't planish or hammer/stretch it back out. The more I welded, the more it sunk... Will have to add a lot of filler.
