Hood lacing and trim on Brookville bodies and grille shells does not look nice - Vintique, Bob Drake and others have two different size molded foam lacing that is quite nice. If you do want to use the original style, you have to 'season' it by beating with a hammer to flatten out somewhat.

Brookville hinges are, for no better word, CRAP. Though mine is a '31A, the hinges were so bound up that they actually kinked the right door, the left just squealed. I ordered some 5/16" oil lite bushings from McMaster-Carr along with some hardened round stock and 6-32 set screws and went to work. The '31 hinges are only flat stock, rolled to fit the pin. I welded up the open ends, drilled for the bushings and reamed as an assembly for the pins, then set screwed it all in place. The only discrepancy is that there is no rounded head on the pins(yet).

Home Depot fasteners around here are distributed by Crown Bolt, and are poor quality Chinese made. Lowe's stuff is a bit better. Tractor Supply fasteners seem to be somewhere between the other two.
