Hood Fix?
Fixed. I cut a slot at the bottom of the hood to retrieve the mangled parts as they were wedged in there. I drilled the spot welds and got the rest of the required pieces. I was able to salvage both retainers and both rails which I was able to piece together and make one rail I fabricated a new rail and refurbished the mangled retainer. I then dropped a string with a nut down to the bottom and pulled the assembled parts up bolted them in postion and spot welded them in position. After some grinding a sanding I used a little bondo to smooth it all out and I was lucky enough to have a can of red paint to finish the job. Although it was a challenge it was easier than I expected.
