305 V-6 with dual Strombergs

[Corts60]

Well I still have another year and a half before I go on terminal leave...I have served aboard the Bluebell, Sledge, Midgett and now I am currently on the Fir. Needless to say I am a little burned out...

But anywho, here are some pics of the new hood. I bought it from a guy that has stored it since 1976 so it's in pretty good condition. The only part that has major rust is a piece of the rear cross frame that supports the hood close to the windshield. Obviously it was stored sitting upright so I think some moisture got to it over time. But, no big deal, I'm gonna be cutting some holes in her pretty soon....I don't plan on keeping this hood permanently, just until I can find a 60-61 GMC hood.
