Scooped Hood

Picked up my new to me hood today! I got it from a vanner in Indiana. Another vanner picked it up for me on the way to the van nats then he gave it to yet another vanner to bring back to Wisconsin. Still kind of a ways away but closer than indiana! It took me 6 hours and 300 miles to get it and come back home.
Alot of work to do to it though! Looks like I will have to carefully sand down all the bondo and smooth the scoops in again as it is all cracking and could of been done better to start with. After sanding off all the filler I will remove the screws and reattach with rivets and try to smooth it in a lil better by hopefully insetting the scoops so it will be more even with the metal part. I also have to remove some brackets and hinges, the previous owner made it a side open and although it is unique I will just use the stack hinge locations. Here's some pics of the rest of the hood!
