Just been grinding down the paint & filler on my original GM cowl induction hood to strip it. I was originally well pleased to know that it was a genuine GM part not a repro, but on taking the paint off it looks like someones been ballet dancing on the thing :o :o Those little black dots are 1/8" holes. There's 46 of them drilled in it to pull out dents & damage & the filler was over 1/2" deep, looks like I've got my work cut out to get this thing right :lol: :lol: Cheers....Nige
