The lower front on the hood of my 65 is pretty rotten. I know I can buy a new panel but I am not sure how to change it. I can see the spot welds on the bottom but I can't see what holds the upper part. Can anyone here offer a little advice? Thanks

I couldn't find ant detailed help on your topic when searching through the Stovebolt archives. I did find this 2013 on-topic thread at Classicparts.com. I think the info and pictures in there will help you answer the question on separating the lower front from the upper part. wink Let us know how it turns out. smile

Good deal! thumbs_up Perhaps you would post on how yours works out so other Bolters may be able to refer to it in the future. wink Any do's and don'ts tips, plus pictures may make it easier for others looking to do the same work. grin
