Looks great but sad to see the thread coming to a close. I have used this as a reference many times. I'm battling a used hood now trying to salvage it. It was banged up on the left front corner and had a patch welded in under it. May need to just get a reproduction. Thanks again for the thread.

Ok, no problem. Some people like crossword puzzles, I like a good fender tag or a build sheet and that tag is a good one! Nice car!
