Thanks all for your responses. Even though my car is going to a body shop eventually I started working in the front and everything to the firewall has been stripped to bare metal and either primed or, in the case of valance panels, bumper brackets, battery tray etc. stripped and powder coated. I will get a look at the car once it goes to blast so I will eventually know of the problem areas. I'm just looking at whether or not I should consider this hood, maybe I can send it to the guy doing the work as well and hope I don't have to go find another one, done that before.
