ok, time for the hood now. Got the fenders and the doors done. I have a stock metal reproduction hood that i stripped to bare metal. I am going to be welding a cowl induction scoop on to it, bare metal also. The scoop has about a half inch flange all the way around, that lays flat on the hood, overlapping it. The company that makes the scoop says the scoop can attached with fusor adhesive or be welded. The question i have is should i drill holes in the flange and spot weld the scoop to the hood or should i try and weld the entire flange to the hood?. When im done i will use filler so the scoop looks like it is part of the hood, like a real cowl induction hood. Keep in mind the scoop goes the full length of the hood from front to back, so welding it solid would be a lot of welding. Its 19 guage like the hood so i would have to weld short welds to keep it from warping.
So solid weld or spot (plug) weld it, then apply filer?
thanks in advance
