MrDude_1, I could not have said that any better. There is always a reason to buy more tools. I am a tool junkie.

Re: 1954 Chevy / S10

I have been trying to fix the hood on the pickup. The back must have laid on something before the owner had bought it. It had the back edge stretched and I tried using my big grinder with the shrinking disc on it the stretch it back with no luck. So the next thing I thought of was to bead roll a 2 inch wide strip and plug weld it to the bottom of the hood. It stiffened the back edge of the hood up like I wanted. Now I have to readjust the hood now. the next thing will be the front because I think it was also dropped on the nose too. It doesn't fit the profile of the grill and I will fix that. Here are some pictures.
