I have some Rage lightweight filler but should I use something else due to the metal flexing during driving and shutting hood?

Just regular old filler or a polyester putty like "Glaze coat" from Evercoat is all you need. The "reinforced" fillers like "Metal to Metal"
http://www.eastwood.com/metal-to-met...h-hardner.html or "Everglass"
http://www.evercoat.com/product-deta...art/100622/us/ are largely overused. People think they are a must for a number of reasons when they are SELDOM used in most shops, regular old filler like RAGE (one of the best) is going to out last us, we will be dead and gone and it will still be there.
Most "show cars" you see are completely coated in a filler like RAGE, over the hoods, doors, roofs, and it will stay there forever. The reinforced fillers are awesome for something like a fiberglass repair to coat the area before regular filler is used to fine tune it. The Metal To Metal to use in a door jamb or something on an edge, yeah I guess so, honestly, I haven't used it in 25 or so years. But Everglass, awesome stuff for working with fiberglass.
