Fusor and others have great automix urethane repair products.
Prime it with flexible parts primer (Spies Heckler is the best I have seen... sprayed a blown up beach ball allowed to cure and deflated the ball... the ball was still completely covered without stress cracks in the primer)

Me too. Great design.

Is that a little welded patch on the driver's side rear of the hood? What kind of damage was there?

I'm trying to imagine how a rust hole would get in that particular spot (if that's the case).

Very common with Ram air hoods because the scoops would let the water lay in the back of the hood and they are always rotted out.

Thanks for the info Don, makes sense. The guy that fixed it the first time didnt address the rust issues and it came back . If you look at the picture you can see the old rust square is laying the other side of the hood on the bench. Here is how he fixed the bottom of the fenders. Please forgive me if someone out there fixed this like this its not my intent to bash you [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/scholar.gif[/img]

Back working on the front bumper. After a trip to the paint store my resto guy brought back 5 different products to fix the bumper. All plastic primer,flex additive, HS surface activator, HS surface/sealer hardener, and sealer. Looks like its coming out pretty good.
