Not yet. We have it laying down better after some major hinge adjustments. (you can see it's still not flat in the pictures above) Now we are going to cut into the fiberglass supports, add some aluminum, build a form which matches the fender contour, and try to force the hood back to that shape. We think it's better than replacing the hood, and Eric is convinced he can do it without damage and making it look good. So that is next week's goal...
At the end of the day, I think we are going to have to take the blame for this. While the VFN is definitely not 'strong' in the front-to-back support areas, we caused most of our own problem by getting the hinges into the wrong angle. But the hood shouldn't have 'collapsed' the way it did either in my opinion.
