You could always step up and buy a set of these 1932 Ford 25 vent hood sides ...
They just sold for $3.582.32 on eBay

See for yourself ...

All 1932 Ford passenger car hood sides from Ford ... basically interchange ... roadsters, coupes, sedans ... ect. BUT ... There are some minor differences ... because of early production , late production and a few different suppliers ...

Ford had 32 different locations of plants building cars in the USA in 1932.

The old location for the latches was incorrect. Repro hood ... repro latches ... just move the latches to work with the original hood sides ...

Glad ya had that MoPar along to prop on, as i expect those others would not have been sturdy enough.
Great pictures, beautiful gal.

Early Fords did not have what we would consider an acceptable fit in many cases. Hoods have to be fitted and tweeked to make them fit right. '32's are better than Model A's, fortunately. I would agree with C9x that you should have a talk with you body man. Hoods are the trickiest part of these cars, and if you feel uncomfortable doing the work yourself, you might defer to a professional.

As far as your hood goes, why not leave off the hood and put a 572 BBC in there?

If it was mine I think I would either live with some mismatch or take it to somebody who knows what they are doing; $. Of course it's a 32, so is it supposed to be perfect? I certainly have some imperfections in mine and; 'if you don't like 'em then you can ................ '

Very hot and classy photos!
