Twisted hood half

TJAllen · Apr 10, 2009

I'm putting together an NAA that was in a fire. The tin has the paint burned off in some places. On one half of the hood it must of got a little hot. The hood got twisted. If I put the steering wheel end on the ground and hold the front end up, I can twist it straight, but it won't stay. I think part of it must be expanded, Not sure what to do.

heat warped panel isnt the easiest to get straight. its gonna need shrinking and stretching with hammer and dolley, prolly some heat too. see if you have a local body shop with a good metal man, he can prolly get it out fairly easily. dont go to a big conglomo type bodyshop, all they are after is the big dollar insurance money. without seeing it, may cost 100 dollars or so. if you try it yourself and arent sure what you are doing, you can ruin a panel beyond repair pretty quick.
