[Verdoro 68]

Followed the great instructions in this thread.

A couple tips that I didn't see mentioned mentioned: There's actually two locating holes in the pan, one up top and one on the bottom left side (when the hood is facing up). That really helped place the pan where it needed to be.

I used my 4-1/2" grinder with a cut off wheel to do a bulk of the dirty work and a smaller worn down cut off wheel for the corners, and pair of tin snips for the tail end that sits next to the outer sheet metal. I followed up with a flap disc to smooth all my cuts. I had a little bit of an overcut on one of the corners. I could tack weld it closed, but it will be covered by the pan anyway.

I used a stepped bit to drill the mounting holes which worked great to prevent the bit from hitting the hood skin. The holes on the repro pan had to be enlarged a step to fit the bolts (Ames N174NR). Step bit worked great for that too.
