Hooker Header Repair Tips and Tricks

Consider the technique used in auto body repair where a pad is welded to the panel and the dent pulled out, then the tab is cut off. Heating the area will make it move easily. I’ve got a set of 1 3/4” Hookers for my E-body that will get this treatment. I’ll use long rods through the port openings where I can. If it’s on a straight section I would rather cut out and splice in a patch.
