Gord - I am considering the hood prop option.
Carl - I will be occupied all day tomorrow, in fact I am playing in an end of season wrap-up golf tournament- I plan to go in style driving my ‘54 to the golf course. The hood is not perfectly fit , but it is much improved albeit without springs. I will open a p.m. line of communication later in the week; hopefully you can help me with further improvements.
Thank you for that generous offer.
I wonder how many Stovebolts are out there without hood springs. I swear my repops are too strong.
