What do you think? I still need to fine tune this Jig. Working with this Today enlightened me to other options. The First E (In the pic Above) is just push in but not clamped or bolted down. The E's are Different. L &R Learned something Today. I had a Great Helper Today ![]() The Gold hairy thing in the Picture is Our Puppy. My new addition to the family.

Re: C H E V R O L E T hood letter template needed
Is that coated aluminum? If so can you trim the left side to match the hood peak for lining it up. Or do you set up the right side first, drilling the holes for the R on both sides and locate off the left R stud.

Re: C H E V R O L E T hood letter template needed
Actually it is steel sheet metal.
I had first planned aluminum and a lot more detail . Yes the right side is the set up. This locates the Most important/ R that is in the middle. The Twist drills required are #24 (0.152) & #29 (0.136) The right has scribe mark for alignment. The left needed trimming for the (relief) to match. That is just the Ruff phase. I got 1 more Trick I hope to get this tweeked this week. Number 24 drill for big holes on left and number 29 for locating holes on the right.

I will pm you with all the info and stuff . I was wondering with you using your GMC hood Do you need the template for the big holes in back to install the nuts? Or will you drill thru and then drill the holes bigger? Dwayne

Re: C H E V R O L E T hood letter template needed
Your Welcome
From my experience working at a tool and die shop and working with stamping dies for several years. I noticed something about the alignment. If you get the holes drilled correctly, the Top of the letters will line up 2 inches above the crease line that is closest to the letters. If you notice the tape I left on it. A 2 inch piece of clear tape aligned with the bottom crease. The 1 inch piece of tape even with the top of the 2 inch tape.
