47-55.1 Welding Hood Center Seam - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Finally getting ready to weld up the center seam of the hood. I have the hood adjusted pretty much where I want it. One question - should I have the springs attached to the hood when we weld it up or should I leave the springs off?

Based on Hogfarm's idea, I think we are going to weld the center seam of the hood then use high strength panel adhesive to bond a 5/8" strip of sheet metal to fill in the indentation in the center of the hood.

Thanks.
