folded apron?

Cut and weld if you have the skill to do so. You'll be grateful you did.

why did you attach an image of a clean Ls?

to point out where it is folded! i looked at the car with him and i think it would be better to cut and weld it as it is bent up pretty bad

cut and weld my friend, you might as well go ahead so you dont run in to any problems later.

why did you attach an image of a clean Ls?to simply describe where the damage is

It may come down to personal preference. It seems like cutting and rewelding would be the "cleanest" route to go. Even if you get a good pull on the folded area, you would still have to hammer and dolley (sp) the area and it still would not look visually appealing when popping your hood.
