Subject: [Mgs] aluminum hood gauge
Greeting illustrious List members.
I have an aluminum hood on Project 71 MGB.
I has a patch of body filler coming off in a big chunk right in the
middle.
Hood is dented, filled poorly.
I will first use heat to remove old Bondo. Then, I'll try to
straighten out
the dent with hammer, dolly, and shrink alloy by heating and quenching.
Should these attempts fail, I will use my Hobart Handler 150 with
aluminum
wire to put a new patch in place.
So, at long last, the question is addressed: What Gauge aluminum is the
hood
covered in?
Other suggestions welcome, as long as they're polite ones!
---Sorry if I used the wrong word or spelling for "gauge" I get these
wicked
headaches, they badly affect my concentration. And sometimes, I ramble
on and on
about things that aren't related to the subject at hand, too.
It's all on account of a car accident I had a .....
