Hoss,
If you are trying to skin the hood only to access flaking rust there are other options such as media blasting, chemical dips, or even rust encapsulater. Eastwood make a great rust encapsulater product
If you use a media to blast the rust you have to be real careful not to warp the metal. There are people who can do this for you and if the hood is in decent shape it may be worth the price.
You only have once chance to skin the hood so if something goes wrong and you bend the sheet metal or something else the hood may be garbage.
