Making it "flat" again?

Don't be afraid to shrink on it. It shouldn't take much hammer work to get it straight. Also, try test fitting it. Hood sides don't have much strength like you said and tend to be "floppy" when off car or open, but will conform to the grill a bit when latched in position.

Yeah, I've got hope someone can step up and give me some direction. I don't care if they use a dill pickle and ketchup to straighten it, if they've used it and it works. Need some help on plumbing? I could tell you what to do, start to finish. Shrinking metal? I just scratch my head and stare into the darkness.
Also the other sides a lot stiffer then this.
