Beetle Pick Up....Minor progress, picked up some misc. supplies today that I will need in the build so there went that $100 bill. The hood has two light 4" impressions at the top near the wiper arms, looks like some one slammed their palms against it and another 1" ding front bottom. I called around for an aftermarket hood and they all go for about $200 IMHO is way cheap. Decided to try my skills at fixing it, gently worked out the dents by applying light pressure and gentle taps to the underside of the hood working the dents from the outer area to center. I was able to get most of it out so I'll skim coat the hood and saving $200. Need to figure a easy way to drop the rear about 1 1/4" ….Stay tuned~
