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.
