questions about my hood.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Blizz · 06-08-2006, 07:53 PM

it has the bowtie on it so i'm guessing its from a 69 and it seems kinda flimsy....the middle of it kinda wobbles or bounces up and down. my question or questions are....
is a 69 hood the same as a 72 hood?
what can i weld underneath it to support it to make it more stable?
how do i get that bowtie off without breaking it all to hell?
and
what would be the best way to fill in the holes where the bowtie used to be?

The bowtie unbolts from the backside.. Get new foam for the braces for the underside of the hood wont stop the problem but will help it out a little..
