IC2, Thanks for the message. There are some rodders close by. One is a neat '32 roadster in Mechanicsville and John York's Kit Car shop is just over the hill. The problem is that I need to spend more time on the car and I am finding that each car is so different that most folks are reluctant to look at a one-off set of wires. Anyway, I am writing here to ask if anyone has a genuine 1929 Ford hood to explain that cutout in the back edge of the hood? I have some other errands this week but I plan to replace the back rod bracket with a '30-'31 bracket and paint the bare part of the center rod. Yes the cowl webbing is on there but the ridge in the Bebops cowl seems pretty far back. I guess this is just the usual messing around with hood alignment other folks have cussed over.
