Looks like I totally misunderstood the "infill panel". I was visualizing it as an extension of the hood to fill the corner, but not considering that it would bind on the upswing, thus the infill panel on the body, and the nicely radiused corner to open cleanly. Sorry for the bother, Steve.

Traced around the template last night onto a bit of 16swg sheet steel welded some mounting studs in place. plug welded them and sanded smooth.












To keep to the rivet theme i filed out the mounting holes in the hood hooks.








I decided rather than just have an edge on the filler piece I would add a return, tacked it up and then welded and smoothed off and a squirt of primer.












Here its back in place, still needs a bit of sanding to even up the gaps but its looking much better.
