Hi David

It took me a while to figure out that the party had moved next door, I wondered why it had gotten so quiet at MM. To answer your question - no, I haven't welded it yet. I need to buy a sheet of aluminum and cut 2 of the strips I need for the fill (one to screw up and one to actually weld into the hood (bonnet). I can use all the waste to practice on. I guess if I really botch the weld I can just trim some off either side of the hood and weld in a wider strip. I hope you are right and at the end I find that it really wasn't a big deal.
