My first go at making a panel from scratch, did salvage the side hinge though. Sorry I'm a noob and can't make roller dies on the lathe yet. Lots more Tig practice though

That looks good from here! Did you start with plain sheet metal or a roached hood?

WOW! That is Amazing!

Original hood was pretty much junk. I cut the side hinges off after far too much wasted time trying to bang them out and patch them up. I got them close enough to make a template and rolled new steel. Also modified the design for a 35 passenger center hinge

Here is a crappy pic of the underside. And starting the piecing together on the next side. Rolled a flange to give some strength to the weld in regards to keeping my noob ass from warping the metal with heat, cut it out after and cleaned it up a bit
