Title: Hood part
Post by: Ford Blue blood on 2016-09-18 09:29
Looking for the rear 6" of a hood (57 or 58).  Really just need the top sheet metal but if you have one that has the under OK too.  I have a great frame and need the rear 6" to graft a 61 - 63 Bird hood skin onto it as my metal working skills/tools are not good enough to make the rise on the rear of the hood.  Thanks guys.

When I skinned a '65 Thunderbird hood over a '57 Ford hood frame, the compound angles and inside arc at the rear of the hood were the most challenging to hammer/dollie to satisfaction.  I have a '58 hood your are welcome.  Maybe there is some snow bird getting ready to head south for the winter that would have extra room???

PS...well worth the effort!!!!!!

Thanks Gary, can I talk you into cutting it and sliding the part into a tube and mailing?  Bumpers still available, I'm still interested?
