Silly Question about a 55 bonnet.

[fat56]

Hey,

This may be a silly question, but stripping my truck back to bare metal i have found many small body lines and curves. Some one had just filled over them all.

My question is with the 55 bonnet does it go flat in the centre or is it a continuous curve the whole way across.

Either it does or my bonnet has sunk a little in the middle.

any help would be good help.

thanks

Heat is the culprit improper curves on the hood or bonet as you guys down under call. Causes could have been by a fire, sanding with a grinder over heating the metal, or too aggresive sand blasting causes the metal to heat causing a tin can effect meaning the stamp curve will sometimes sag. There are ways to fix by using heat with a torch and cold rags soaked in a bucket with ice or working it with a shrinking disc and air. Heating the molecules of the metal and bringing strength back to the out of shape areas. Most good metal men can fix it just takes that special skill.
