- How To Repair Severe Hmmwv Hood Damage: Huge Transformation!
Hey everyone! In this video, I am Fixing the severe damage to the corner of the hood on this M1123 HMMWV that I purchased from the GovPlanet Auction. This damage is very common on these military HMMWVs. This passenger corner is very far away from the driver and it's very easy to misjudge how close something is to this corner resulting in a minor impact. I hope this video helps some of you fix this damage to your hoods rather than having to completely replace the hood or send it off to a body shop.

One reason I keep my junk hoods if I replace it with a new or better one. If I get a damaged hood, I can cut the section that I need to repair out of one of the junk hoods and mold it into the hood I need to repair.
I was literally gonna recommend the coat of primer to expose the imperfections right before you mentioned it. Excellent work my friend. I'm hoping to get my hands on one of my own soon.
For future reference, to save yourself so much sanding. Get 36 grit paper and sand or do your shaping while ur resin is in the firing stage. It's like rubber, I've been fixing tractor trailer hoods for 30 years. Same as trimming all your over hang of extra Glass. A new utility blade makes quick work of trimming excess while it's in that warming up faze.its not wet, and it's not cured hard yet.
Wonderful video Dakota. I’ll be repairing the stress cracks on my HMMWV soon. These have been really helpful. I’m thinking of just ‘DREMELing’ the cracks into grooves and using a mix of fiber mat confetti and poly resin to fill it in and then sand down. Your idea of using wire mesh and wax paper is great, I would have used multiple aluminum foil layers to get the mold shape and duct tape to give it strength on the outside, or maybe even painters tape.
that's freaking awesome! you can't even tell. good job man!
Keep up the good work. With this video and your previous hood repair video, I got the confidence to do my own humvee hood repair in my garage one weekend a year or so ago.
You did a great job mate, I truly appreciate your support and honesty. Your channel has been a blessing to me as I live in Australia 🇦🇺 I’m not a mechanical minded person but have learnt so much from your channel. Thanks again wishing you a good day kindest regards Grant
Great video and commentary of your hard work. Thanks for putting it out there. Looks great!
That is a top job repair.
Great job brother
Hello. Good job and excellent ideas to fix this damage. I wish you to add a link to the shop for the materials used, and thank you for all your amazing videos.
i've got a damaged corner too that i'm going to start on.
Your comment about 82% got my attention and reminded me to subscribe. Good info here thank you for all the insights. I’m actively looking and will hopefully land one in the next couple of weeks from here in the US. How long does it take to receive after initial EUC etc is finished and sent?
Nice job bud....keep the videos coming...
Nice work! How do you like the doors? I have a set that just got installed. It was a bit difficult to get the strikers to work properly. The doors would just pop open going down the road.....
Hey Dakota, on one of your shorts with the tan HMMWV making all the beautiful turbo noises I few of us were wondering what the tire and wheel size combo is? I’m getting ready to buy tires and wheels next week and would love to know sizes.
I just bought a humvee I see you can register yours over dmv in Florida. Can you help me in that? Thanks
Where in Florida are you?
Can you make video about how to get it titled and street legal in Florida
Or just say it in comments
All that work just to put bedliner on a hood :(
That’s what the customer wanted, I prefer more original looking hmmwv’s
