Spent the day working on the replacement hood..

"New" hood from SECO. Clearly it was "fixed". (looks reasonably well, but there are a few places I needed to drill out as well as a few places where some body putty will be needed to fill some small holes.

First thing I did was install the hood bracing kit. I don't want this one to crack.

Everything except for the lights themselves is installed (or ready to go). I left the grill out since it makes it easier for me to lift it by myself.

Grill is painted, the under grill is ready to be attached. I should be able to get that finished in the morning and then get it mounted onto the HMMWV. I'll deal with the putty, paint touch up and installing the lights tomorrow.
