Re: Hood 'Oil canning' problem.

I had the same issue on my OEM hood, I welded a horizontal brace in the center between the 2 long braces that run from the front to the back of the hood. The underside of mine I painted satin black, I then used black silicone to fill the gaps between the sheet metal and all braces. looks great and it is now solid.
