Then the only thing left is the hood. You said you had to weld some of the hood braces, why don't you take a closer look at those braces, and also see if they have been separated from the hood. It seems you cover everything else so that's the only thing left that i can thing of. -
look real close under the front of hood. toward the top corners. the ribbing for the hoods has a tendency to crack letting the hood dance like yours does. those metton hoods are junk in my opinion. if you have the $$$ get a jones hood.
black_dog106 Thanks this. -

One if my first thoughts also was to check to see if the hood itself was separating from the bracing. I've not found anywhere that it is. I'm gonna look at it more tomorrow.
Theres gotta be somewhere that it's giving and/or flexing. -
I think whenever I find the weak spot it's gonna be up at front of hood around grill area or the forward brace. I've stiffened the hood a lot but it's still shaking as bad as ever.
New hood isnt really in the cards right now but I'd love to have one. Just built a new shop (metal building) and in the middle of building the interior for living in part of it. -
I appreciate you guys taking the time to think about it and reply. I'm open to any ideas that will help me get it right.
