    Different Hood Stampings? & how no filler is ugly.

    Kenny, your method of closing the side windows and opening the front made the trip home from the GA rally great. As long as we were moving, I was comfortable. This included the long run on I-10 with 100% humidity and about 80 degrees in the middle of night.

    Different Hood Stampings? & how no filler is ugly.

    I am taking a break from sanding on the doors and windshield frame as I type this. So, I am not far enough along to know if I like the windshield frame sitting on the little raised rest already on the hood when it is down or would like something different. I do know my M715 has welting...

    Different Hood Stampings? & how no filler is ugly.

    David, Don't spend any time on the tiedowns. I have 3 grills. The one that came from the 1952 has the small holes not big enough for a 1/4" bolt to fit through. The other 2 have 1/4" holes in the grill. I cleaned up the 1952 grill and painted it months ago before I knew there was a...

    Different Hood Stampings? & how no filler is ugly.

    I played around with my photo program and now know how to do the cirlces and arrows or whatever else I want to do to a picture. Thanks for pushing me on this guys. The Gasser got to sit out in the sun some today while I pulled the hardtop off the M715 and basically made it more summer ready...

    Different Hood Stampings? & how no filler is ugly.

    Perfect explanation DDoyle. Thanks for the arrows too. That would explain why the curve is on both sides of the hood at the same place. Seems I will have to see if glazing puddy is "filler" and breaks my no filler rule or not so I can use my other replacement hood. That will have to be later...

    Different Hood Stampings? & how no filler is ugly.

    Surface rust on top and almost the entire front brace underneath rusted through made me think the other one would be better. I am not going to put any numbers on the hood until I sand down the parts one and see how it comes out though. How do I add arrows Joe?

    Different Hood Stampings? & how no filler is ugly.

    I was sanding away on my replacement hood over the weekend and I realized something wasn't right. Besides the fact that what I thought was a straight hood had a lot of filler covering dents that is. I finally figured it out when I walked over to my parts Duece to collect my already painted...
