Re: 1952 Chevy Vette Roadmaster LT1 Farm Truck Build

Did some smoothing on the outer cowl to firewall tonight and put the hood on for a test fit. Gonna do the passenger side tomorrow.













Hood fitted like I have read in the past. Fits better without the spring hinge but figured out a way to get it much better with the spring hinge. Loosen the main hinge, lift the hood up high and hold while someone tightens the bolts from inside the cab. Works so far. Rubber seal will determine final fit. Will still need more tweaking but now I know it will be close when final fit comes.
