Ok, I have a hood support lip on the body; now I needed one on the nose. This one turned out to be pretty simple and I accomplished it in about 30 minutes. I took a piece of 1/8 x 2 flat stock (bought at ACE Hardware), cut it to length, and bent it with my bare hands (No, I'm not faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, or able to leap tall buildings! It's just soft metal...
). Once I was satisfied with the fit, I tack-welded it to the back edge of the brackets that hold the nose piece on. I will weld it solid when I remove the nose later.
Now that I have something to mount it to, I can fabricate the hood next.

Damn, that's something I didn't want to hear. I'm glad I got to meet him and Rosie and Rick. I'm proud to have had him as a friend, RIP Johnboy
