Hey Bobby, thanks for doing whatever you did to figure out how to write between the pics. Now you gotta explain it to the rest of us!!
Which hood fitting pic are you referring to? My hood actually doesn't fit all that great. I want it to fit a good as that red 37 pic above. That's a car I saw at a car show. Or maybe you're referring to the hood sitting on top of my car..."It is not much good thinking of a thing unless you think it out." - H.G. Wells

I'll try it...First we insert a pic...
small Puppy, May 2010 016.jpg
Then hit the enter key two or three times...
Then select/insert another pic..527SOHC.jpg
Then we'll choose preview post.
It looks correct here so we'll try it for real.
It appears the picture size has something to do with it also. I expected the first sentence to be above the pic but the smaller picture size makes it fit alongside. I'm going to try and move it lower now. And I was able to move the picture under the sentence by hitting the enter key a couple times.Last edited by 34_40; 12-23-2011 at 07:06 AM.

My hood is good to go, just my entire group needs to come up an inch I believe..I`m not using the center front support behind the grille, looking for an alternative to it..Toys

Hey Rich, is that a factory grill or aftermarket? Are you running it without the side panels or are they just off in the pic? I always had the connector rod between the fenders but with my new radiator with the AC condensor I won't be able to use the factory connector bar. I'm planning to fabricate something that will replace it and accommodate the AC condensor...."It is not much good thinking of a thing unless you think it out." - H.G. Wells

Factory grille for the standard model and running without the side panels, ( covered in the garage) for the connector rod I`used a piece of half inch tubing, massaged it to clear the lower portion of my electric fan welded nuts on it and bolted it back on, and also just got thru making a lower air dam on the very bottom of the chin to kick more air into the radiator ( still in the rough stage ), thinking of building new inner fender panels, more in the way of a frame work with no inner panels at all.Toys

My grill is an aftermarket that I bought when my dad first built the car back in the 80's. They are notorious for not being the greatest fit. It was made in Argentina, which is the same place most of the aftermarket grills come from today. My inner fenders have been modified to clear the Mustang II upper A arms. The cut out was beefed up so they're pretty strong. I've never run it without the side panels because my engine compartment was never very attractive before this rebuild, plus I think the side panels add strength and rigidity to the front end. My grill was much more solid with the side panels bolted to it. The lower piece that joins the bottom of the fenders & grill is in tact and strong. I have also fashioned a connector rod out of some tubing but don't quite have it right yet.
My plan is to replace the rubber body mounts before I re-fit the front fenders so I can be sure it's all in the right place. Then I can deal with unsightly gaps as needed."It is not much good thinking of a thing unless you think it out." - H.G. Wells

I`ve seen several Aus grilles at the swap meets, and told that they never look quite right, I found an original last year at the swap meet, slightly tweeked but I think it can be straightened as a spare for $ 80, no rust. I`m only guessing from looking at my `37 that the inner panels and the front support carry the most weight and sinse I`m not running my front support probably why my front group has settled over time.Toys

Randy - my battery is up under the passenger side fender. its a little harder to get to than in the trunk, but I had cables from the doner camaro and they were the perfect length. I need to work on holding it down better, but it should work fine.
Be sure to take plenty of pictures tomorrow!Last edited by 35fordcoupe; 01-23-2012 at 06:10 AM.

Randy, re; pics, YOU started it! and you're never gonna finish if your out playing poker all the time!
Dave, I'll be watching for your results also. I'm just not impressed or "comfortable" with this optima! And since I haven't finished my battery box, I may just hold off for now.
