Snap a few piccies of the hood supports and post them up. I'd be curious on what's still attached. You could probably git some Liquid Nails construction adhesive and put dabs between the support and the hood skin...but only if you thoroughly clean both surfaces before you apply it.

With my current 1998 T-100, I don't have that problem.
Actually,I find the deformation quite entertaining! Witnessing 'tin-canning' first hand.
It helps me remember the forces lurking just beyond the glass.
I appreciate the confirmation.
Hope your weather's a little cooler down there.
