The hood on my 54 3600 got a bit crumpled in the nose area around the front emblem. A fairly straight hood from a 49 just came up for sale locally for $50 and i figure easy swap and less bodywork.
Question: will the 49 hood fit on the 54 with no major problems?
Ive searched a little and a found a thread in which the builder went the opposite way - put a 54 hood on a 49 and said it worked.
Seems like the only difference is where the holes for the front hood emblem to mount are located (which is a simple fix) and maybe the side emblem holes as well.
My major Q i guess would be overall fitment to the cowl/fenders/grill and weather or not the hood latch/shroud mechanism is compatible between the years? Don't think they ever changed the hood springs...
For $50 i probably can't go wrong but figured id run it by the great minds of Stovebolt first.
Thanks in advance
