Hood Fix

I got a really nice hood (no dents or rust) from Breeh for free but the nuts broke loose from the sheet metal, and in one spot the sheet metal had fatigued and broke loose taking the nut with it. Here is the fix. Weld nuts to thick flat washers.

Use die grinder to enlarge holes to the size of the washer.

Weld washer assembly flush with the hood. This takes about 30 minutes total. Easy fix and looks just like stock.
