Yours looks beautiful to me!

Haha yeah I agree some are pretty rough. This truck actually came from Bozeman and although I’ve replaced most of the Sheetmetal, the hood is salvageable. I had a “autobody guy” come by and some pulling/shrinking and those spots are just gonna need a thin skim of filler.
I was recommended to use a dynamat material between the brace and hood instead of that cheap grey foam strips the vendors sell. Anybody tried this around here? I’m not sure how much shock absorption it’d do?
