Re: new truck with a taco hood

i got a chunk of 2x4 on each side under the bended up parts,took a ratchet strap and ratcheted it directly on the bend,it straightened it out 100% straight.
i had 2 pieces of angle iron under the 2x4 on the hood, so once straight,i got it tack welded, undid the strap,and finished carefully welding the angle iron on nicely with little beads here and there on a lowwwwww voltage setting lol.

didnt hurt paint at all!
