Topic: hood and radiator cap

  I'd like to see thoughts about aligning the hood on an uncut 32 Ford. First without fenders attached and then with the fenders. Seems like it would be a practical matter to do it without the fenders attached first but what do you do with the rear hood hold down?

I'd also like to see thoughts on fitting the radiator cap as a fake using the original sh*ll, collar but after market radiator without the cap in the stock location. I cut a 1/2" circle spacer to fit snuggly inside the neck, attached it to the cap and then used sheet metal scr*w*d to the underside of the spacer to hold it in place. Know it sounds complicated but was fairly simple but was wondering if there is an easier way. Guess I could use silicone to fasten it in the original location.

Thanks

Jack
