LSUpete, as I recall you left your hood up for several hours when it warped. I can't see that having anything to do with the hood warping, I only mention it because it is the only thing diff. that I can see from here than everyone else that has the fiberglass hood shocks. The hood shocks/stiffeners even work with the very thin hoods that do not have built in braces and yours is the only one that I have heard of that warped. Also I recall you saying that the warp goes away after being down for a while, is that true? I don't see why it would with the built in stiffener and the one that came with the shocks. I am still surprised/do not understand why.

Chuck,
You remember those photos I sent don't you?
It would flex back a little overnight, but not all the way. To get it back to the original profile, I had to weigh the hood down. After that, I removed the shocks. I was left with that solution, because there was no way Malotte would have taken it back after I had painted the hood and drilled holes for hood pins. Trust me, I am the one who regrets this the most and wish I could provide a solution.
