The aluminum trim shows the imprint of about a 1 inch diameter piece of tubing, which smooshed the trim and pushed the hood back in that area about 1\/8&#8243;. This caused the vertical area of metal behind the trim to become stretched at the bottom edge. So no matter how much pushing you do, it won&#8217;t fix the problem. The solution was easy though. Just make a cut with the cutoff wheel and squeeze the area together, then weld it back up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.60impala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/hoodcrunch2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.60impala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/hoodcrunch2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-288\" title=\"Cut and Welded\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.60impala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/hoodcrunch2.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.60impala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/hoodcrunch2-300x180.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The result&#8230; right back where it belongs!

Luckily, the center of the dent was not hidden under any of the underside bracing structure, so I was able to slam a 2&#215;4 under it with a smooth beveled edge on it that cradles inside that rib shape, then close the hood on it, putting my weight into it a little bit at a time&#8230; checking and re-checking to make sure I don&#8217;t go too far.
