Only problem with welding a hood is they are easy to warp. I have made patches for this area but neverused a pre fab one.

I patched the hood 2 times and both times there comming back. I know if i took my time and had a damp rag to cool the metal every time i tacked it stop the warping some.I am just curious if these are any good cause buying a new hood is what i am tring to not buy and put the money in the bed area where it needs it the most.
thanks
