Hood 'Oil canning' problem.

[sharpmark]

that's a picture of mine-when I'm driving the area along the peak of the bonnet about 1 foot back from the front is shimmering up and down constantly and it does move quite abit.
from the research I've done, its quite common and can only be fixed by putting in more braces under the skin ie one joining the two diagonal ones together and then some tight fitting packing between brace and skin.
I don't care enough about it too worry about fixing it-too busy driving it.

hello from rotorua by the way!

Hey Mark,

Thanks for the feedback. So just to be clear, if you push down on the hood half way between the outer edge and the brace, and half way front to back, does it push down really easily (feels really thin) and at the same time raises the bonnet skin up between the brace and centre of the hood? My panel beater is still skeptical that this is normal! Your thoughts are appreciated.
Quite the garage full of cars you got there! And Hi from the South Wairarapa.
