Any ideas on how to repair rusted out areas on 52 8n hood. If any way to do so, how do you reshape the grooves on the bottom edge of the hood.

Cut a piece of sheet metal to replace your bad area. Preshape it as much as you can before welding it in. One method I use is to make a mold from a good section using body filler. Use grease as a release agent. Then bump the sheet metal into the mold with body hammers. After welding do your final shaping and filling. Its a good excuse to go buy a Mig Welder if you don't have one....

Kenny, I have used Bondo liquid metal to fill in using wire screen to make the shape and layering in the material. It is strong and sandable and holds up. You can also cut out the area and weld in some sheet metal with a wire feed welder. Beware the cheap Chinese imports. NComplete makes a good repro hood that is pretty pricey but fits and looks right. Also Dennis Carpenter has some sheet metal that he is starting to make. I think his stuff would be good.
