aluminum hood repair?
I needed a TII hood bad for my turbo swap, I found one locally for $160... but it was drilled for hood pins



Can I repair the holes that were drilled?

Thanks

Use LORD FUSER to bond a piece of old hood from the bottom. Then a skim coat of Schmunda and repaint. I have an old hood if you need the patch panels

That would be great! I guess I will just have to cut the underneat area out more to fit the patch in.

It doesnt have any dents The only thing wrong with it is the holes, and the paint chips but it's not staying blue so thats no big deal.
