Un-taco? Never heard that term before.
Taco without shell?
New word, just made it up!
You are talking about the spots from the reinforcement ribs to the skin. Correct?
Lets just say that a strap attached to the hood, a spinning mechanical fan and a human body stall a 400 hp engine, bend a hood and put a mean mark on the human body.
Doesn't really answer the question but was kind of funny. I guess. The reason I ask is because it helps to reverse what has happened. Think about attacking it with that in mind. A lot can be done with blocks of wood, sand bags and a heavy human bodies. I'd have to be there to really come up with a plan but you get the idea.
So you put a block of "something hard" between the core support and hood where the strap was tied. Stand on something that gives you the ability to put good hand pressure against the "taco"and push hard. That will get you in the ball park. May have sprung the hinge. I'm sure the structure is buckled. You will need to metal finish the buckle in the sub structure for ultimate structural integrity. That will require a stud puller or something similar. Once the hood looks level to the nose panel you should block both front corners of the hood and finish off the "taco". The opposit corner will probably want to lift. Thats where a sand bag or a big bellied human comes in. Finishing the "taco" may involve a strong blanket a long block of wood and a big hammer,
guess that action can't be reversed to unbend the hood.
