I don't know the correct name for the small filler panel that attaches to the fenders, but these go on it under the hood.

However, on my 37 I used the same stuff that went across the cowl on the front edge of the radiator surround that the front of the hood fits against. I just don't remember if I just used it or that was what was originally used?. I may be totally wrong. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 1,554 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 1,554 | I think you are talking about the fender extensions. I used the same material that I used on the rear of the hood. Dave

I don't know if anyone makes it.
I can take a photo tomorrow in the daylight if you want.

I just don't know what they did on the ends, how long etc. There are slots at the top and bottom but I don't know if they are used in any way. A picture of it installed or still in tact would be very helpful. Thanks Scott | | | | | Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 2,074 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 2,074 | I think this is the stuff. Also, I believe the lacing tucks in the slot and is held in place with a screw on the engine side. Been a while since I've seen a truck with this stuff, looks correct and has a vintage look over the rubber stuff. http://stores.restorationspecialties.com/flat-hood-lace/

The lacing was fabric and had three ribs, unlike the widely available reproductions which have two ribs.
Unlike the lacing on the cowl, there was no wire running down the middle.
The sections were held in place with two hex/clutch head screws with no washers or other devices to clamp the lacing down.
The lacing was long enough to poke through the two slots at the top and the bottom and maybe 1/4" to 3/8" went through to the other side. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 2,074 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 2,074 | If you click on pics of my 46 one shows the lacing at the front of hood. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 170 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 170 | Thanks guys, I had just enough left from the cowl. Looks great! Thanks, Scott | | |
