Re: Smooth Hood
Bonding a strip of metal to cover the gap I would have to say would be the easiest method but would also create a visible joint line when the glue and various thickness of metal expand and contract at different rates.
I would also say if you weld it,I would cut out the seem and the flange where the rivets go make a patch and butt weld that patch in. Reason being is when you weld, the weld will shrink along with the flange acting like a hinge pulling even more metal out of place. Also, with the flange in place you wont be able to correct any welding damage because of the flange.
