body stuff, cheap

[DNK006@aol.com]

My 86 has some minor damage from the hood opening during flight.  The cowl 
under the windshirld is, of course, damaged.  It is buckled (less than my 84 
which was ripped apart!) and it is higher than normal in the center, so the 
hood catches.  Also, the rear corners of the hood are slightly bent at about 
30 deg.  How should I go about bending the hood back, and lowering the cowl.  
One suggestion I had, to reduce the visability of the buckleing, is to paint 
the cowl flat black, like the B-pillars.  My car is grey, so it should blend 
well.  This is opposed to bondo, sanding, and matching the (good) factory 
finish.  There is also a slight impact ding on the upper corner of the right 
fender.  It does not travel far back, but the hood is bent here to match.  
Should I take the fender off and beat it from the inside, or try to bondo and 
paint?  
One more problem (before this turns into a long, bitchy, story)  is that some 
@-hole screwed mud flaps to the rear fenders with big screws, which cause the 
lip around the fender to develop small holes.  Has anyone tackled this 
problem before?

Thanks for any help
Ben S.
