I have a really nice low radiator hood I would like to use om my '21. No tears, no dents or dings, even finish painted (wrong color). But....... the top panels are no longer curved to match the radio shell or firewall, they have flattened out. What is the best way to bend them back into shape? I have limited metal working skills / ability.

I think you could sit in a chair and lay the hood over your leg and start bending it.
Take it slowly and don't kink it or hurt your leg.
Or maybe a chunk of pipe or wood about the right diameter.
If you mess with it awhile you should get it.

Bend it over your leg.
