Mine were in bad shape on my otherwise beautiful 87 convertible. I jammed a license plate between the outer hood skin and the inner frame that was cracking. The plate protected the outer skin from the heat of the weld. I prepped it with a dremel, and spray painted it when I was done. Looks perfect, and it had no effect on the paint. Took about 2 hours one evening. I have a Hobart Handler 140 and I'd say I am a novice welder.
JB weld will not work. There is a lot of force on that area. If you can't do it yourself, have a body shop do it. It isn't much work.
