While giving my hood a working over, I became curious as to how I could improve its rigidity, as it seemed unsupported by the frame in some areas. I also didnt like the look (or the functionality) of the putty that was used as a cushion/filler between the two. So I decided to clean the putty out, clamp them together in a few areas, and spotweld them underneath the lip of the frame. I have a few questions though...
Is this a lame idea? If so, why?
How much of yalls hoods, on average, are touching the frame (counting the putty too)?
Are there any particular areas where the skin tends to vary further from the frame? Pics would be welcomed
