No, even tho I tend to overweld--it's welded all the way around, too. My hood already had 1/2 square tubing around the hole that was cut from before. I did end up welding rod around the open end for strength and a piece of flat underneath lengthways to keep it from oilcanning also.
Have you figured out the source of it yet?
Oh-- I did weld gussets from the hood supports to the hood before, tho. I got tired of the hood flopping when I shut it. I can post pictures if you want.
Hey Desert....Thanks for the photos!!!!!!!! I didn't even get close on guessing want the stamping came from!!! I did notice it was red and I noticed two welded holes at the front egde..... and you even used a new wheelbarrow...so no dents and no rust! Did you try to return what's left for a refund or have you figured out another use for the handles and wheel...!!Ok- here's some shots of the underhood (hope you can see the gussets I added) and another of completed hood. Last photo is donor vehicle.

Thanks for the photos!!!! I still in the scratch my head and stare mode and have sacrificed two hoods. They were junk anyway....
