    Hood braces won't fix anything if the skin is oil canned!!! Going to take some shrinking to make the skin tight again! Hood for my '57 is the same way, couple big oil cans, one big high spot where something hit it from the inside. One of the oil can spots went out EZ with a shrinking hammer, other one took some heat to shrink back as did the high spot. No big deal, nice and tight now just takes time and patience!
