Hey, thanks fixite 7 ... removing the hood will probably wait until this Corona-19 is under control and I can again have a guy friend help me with it . . "she who must be obeyed" is not much for lifting, grease/oily hands or breaking a fingernail!! ;-) And, I always use a good dose of Aerokroil to loosen rust, dirt and grime before a wrenching effort.
Wishing everyone on Stovebolt . . . a SAFE, HEALTHY AND HAPPY NEW YEAR 2021!!
