Thanks for the quick responses guys!

Chuck -I asked at the dealership and those assclowns guaranteed me the hood was straight ‘glass.
Saved me a ton of work and wasted money!

And Ben I know exactly what you’re saying. Sigh that’s what I thought. . Breaking the piece of the inner layer off to reach the back of the outer layer then figuring out how to reseat the piece and put bracing on the inside of the bracing skin (inner). Then i come out with a double sided repair on both skins. I’ll be trying to figure out that puzzle all night lol. Can I recreate the process the manufacturer uses to press the two skins together or is it as simple as panel bond or resin at the joint?

Anyhoo I’ll hit the local shop in the morning and price some smc resin. Is epoxy resin ok? I’ve seen poly and epoxy there but I never noticed the smc stuff. I’d rather save the 15 bucks and time in shipping by paying a little more local.

Might just blow through the resin I have and build a mold of the good hood and cowl it up or something.
