It's in the upholstery shop right now. I visit it alot.

Thank you Tim.

Rockin, Looks FANTASTIC Thanks for the pictures.... Bill

Great color! I agree the hood is neat! Lots of goodies in the engine bay! Just for conversation, what are you using for a trans cooler and how is is mounted?

Trans Cooler is a Gotta Show unit.
I will get picks and show the mounting of it.
I think it's cool.
Works well on a So-Cal frame.
The rear trans crossmember has positioning holes for the trans mount to move forward and back. The trans cooler has sliding fasteners. So the cooler fasteners line up well with the trans mount holes not used. The Cooler comes with the hoses etc.
It rides above (higher) than the trans pan, gets great air movement etc.

Rod....where did you get your hood supports and hinges?
Thanks

Hagan Hoods.
You have to put the whole thing together, with a welder to make it work correctly with a hagan hood-set up. Check with them or call them to get an explination.
It is a 3 piece hood. Origionally the 32 used a 4 piece hood.
If you want to go original don't use hagan.
Make a pattern and have Rotlieb Hood make you one.
If you dont make a pattern you have to make your front end fit around the hood fit-up. For me on this car it doesnt work. Not what I'm looking for (for this car).

The hood sides are not shown on these pictures yet.
I will have hood sides also.
.

RR....thanks for the pics, very nice ride

Are you going to try to run without the rubber/welting between the hood and body? Or is it just not installed yet? Sure would be nice to not have to run it but .......
thanks

Thanks...I am not running sides on my hood just the top.
But I need supports and I am new to this game so not sure where to get everything.
What am I looking for are the suports that tie the body to the Rad shell.
Thansk again I will look around

I think I have a set of stock ones laying around here someplace.
If you want em, I'll look. You just foot the shipping and their yours.
