Yeah that is true, wondering what it would cost to repair or if i would be ahead by just getting a repo hood.

i would strip the rest of the hood to see if you had any other issues. It doesn't look bad from the pics.....is the structure of the hood damaged?, how does it fit on the vehicle? you could buy a repro for cheap but you will spend alot of money getting it to fit correctly. looks repairable to me as long as you don't have any rust or overall structure issues

Thank you the underside looks perfect no damage at all and no rust to be seen on it yet. That is why I was very surprised to find this. I am going to continue taking off the paint and hope that is the only bad spot

Can you push it out from the underside ?? Doesn't look too bad really.
