First experience of repairing aluminum hood 

I have shown the rest of the repair parts in the following videos

Repairing aluminum parts is quite difficult, so craftsmen try to refuse such work and recommend replacing the part. I decided to try to repair it as a temporary solution until the new hood was delivered

This was to gain experience working with aluminum. Later I did as you say)

Yes, because the aluminum hood needs to be heated, it is easy to damage the paint even with a rubber mallet

Use a polyurethane mallet. It had the perfect impact results. Aluminum is very stubborn.

This repair was as an experience with aluminum, maybe someone will be useful for their repair. But this repair only gives time to save up money to replace the part

Sí, estos martillos funcionarían mejor, pero no tenía muchas herramientas en ese momento

Without a photo or video it's hard to know how to help

Aluminum is also metal and can be straightened, but only small bends, I was just practicing on this hood, but such damage should not be repaired

Hood straightening was done for temporary installation until the arrival of new parts and for gaining experience in working with aluminum. Watch the following videos and you will understand how it looks at the end of the work.

The hood cost $1000 you guys did a good job I work on a body shop looks like you have some skills

@@joserangel1650 $1000? Lol. Where do you do ur shopping.

TIG welding only. The hood is made of aluminum

@Will Swift mig welding will give more severe metal deformation, but will also work if there is no other. Yes, it is better to heat aluminum before all work

did it a long time ago.
