Repairing aluminum parts is quite difficult, so craftsmen try to refuse such work and recommend replacing the part. I decided to try to repair it as a temporary solution until the new hood was delivered
Hood straightening was done for temporary installation until the arrival of new parts and for gaining experience in working with aluminum. Watch the following videos and you will understand how it looks at the end of the work.
This repair was as an experience with aluminum, maybe someone will be useful for their repair. But this repair only gives time to save up money to replace the part
@Will Swift mig welding will give more severe metal deformation, but will also work if there is no other. Yes, it is better to heat aluminum before all work
I'd like to see a part for the rest of the repair
I have shown the rest of the repair parts in the following videos
Good job. Satisfaction in fixing something instead of trashing it.
Great job!
i damaged my accords aluminum hood and no shop would touch it, only option they told me was to buy a new one.

How would you go about straightening an aluminum hood?
Aluminum is also metal and can be straightened, but only small bends, I was just practicing on this hood, but such damage should not be repaired
Well fk it I’m going after my dented ass tailgate. No stamped areas so I think I’m good
So much work, better off buying a new one. 😂
This was to gain experience working with aluminum. Later I did as you say)
Would a rubber mallet be good to use on the back of the hood or would that cause to much damage
Yes, because the aluminum hood needs to be heated, it is easy to damage the paint even with a rubber mallet
Use a polyurethane mallet. It had the perfect impact results. Aluminum is very stubborn.
I can’t get my hood open cause my right side of the hood got pushed it, how can I open it
Without a photo or video it's hard to know how to help
Usamos martillos de plásticos de goma dura y suave y de fenólica madera
Sí, estos martillos funcionarían mejor, pero no tenía muchas herramientas en ese momento
Looked like a waste of time

If i have a hole in it , how can it be fixed?
TIG welding only. The hood is made of aluminum
