Another build thread? Yep, my track-style T

[J. Robinson]

With the reinforcement welded in place, I drilled a 17/64 hole through the hood side and reinforcement in each end, clamped the hood sides in place, and drilled matching holes in the hood support lips on the firewall and nose. I attached the panels with 1/4" stainless steel button head allen bolts. I will add mounting holes at the bottoms of these panels later; I still have more work to do on them first.

Meantime, with the panels temporarily in place, I was able to begin making the patterns for the hood top pieces. The top will be made in two halves with a piano hinge down the center. Using good ol' trusty poster board again, I cut and fit the left half. That was as far as I got today...
