Jerry.G: Thanks for the reply..That should work with good springs, hinges etc. When I did my hood several years ago, I ordered repop brackets, springs from one of the better parts dealers.. They were not nearly as good as the originals, so put them on the self in the shop and had my originals rebuilt. Seems it was around $200 bucks, but look and work like new. I'll sell the repop arms & springs cheap if anyone wants them. Don't have the hinges as they were back ordered & I canceled that part of the order. Thanks again for the reply. Tom...

tbloss, sorry for the delay in answering you about the hood alignment. Loosen the two bolts under the hood a little bit, the go inside the dash and loosen the bolts there. Close the hood, but don't latch it and align it to the cowl to suit you. Tighten the bolts inside and carefully raise the hood and tighten the bolts at the cowl. Close the hood and see if the alignment is still the same. You may have to do this more than once to get what you want.

The "Alignment of the 1946-48 Hood" by Mark Kicsak appeared in the May/June 2009 V-8 TIMES and has garnered quite a lot of attention.

That'll teach me to find my 2009 roster. Mike Kicsak's article is comprehensive, but I do take issue with bending the hinges. That introduces a whole new set of problems. If you can't locate a copy of the article, Lou, I'd be happy to scan it for you.

Lou Look for the May/June 2009 issue of the V8 Times. On pages 39 and 40 is an article titled "Aligning the 1942/1948 Hood". Ted
