I have a mid 70's camaro hood, it looks like the hood was interfering with one of those cast air cleaner wingnuts because there is about a quarter diameter witness mark where its been rubbing and it left a bulge, not your typical stud ding. This is in an area with no bracing even close. Its also barely reachable for myself to get a hammer and dolly on it, and there is a shallow body line running down the middle to make things even worse.
I'm not an accomplished metal worker. How can I get this bulge down or at least a tad bit subflush so I can smooth it out with a little filler? Many years ago I tried the heat and quench and ruined a hood so I am gun shy here (but think I might have used propane instead of oxy acetylene). I have typical hammers and dolly's and even a stud welder which I read is an option but looking for something that is least risky. Is this a good application for a shrinking disc???
