I purchased hood lacing for my 40 chevy truck. I get where the rear lacing goes, but I also got 2 short pieces with the kit. Where do these pieces go? If someone has a picture, it would be great.gp

I think those short pieces go up front on the cowl / side hood joints

On my '38 the lacing is to the rear of the opening. Along the front sides is a strip of rubber instead of lacing.
Here is the front rubber. Here is the bottom attach point of the rear lace. Sorry I don't have pic showing the whole thing.

I have a 41 gmc truck. I just took off the front fenders and sent out to the body shop, no photos at this time. The point is that there was "original" welting on both fenders where the front of the hood would close against the upper fender sheet metal which goes "upwards" toward the radiator. I would guess these pieces are 4-6 inches long and are made of the exact hood lace material. Doug
