Re: I am getting excited about my Panel!!
No hood ornaments ever on this hood. It was as close to pristine as they get. Oil canned is what you get when the steel in a panel has been stretched. Pretty common to happen in doors and bedsides that have been dented then straitened. Makes the metal weak and unable to hold it shape with the slightest pressure applied. The term came from back in the day when oil was placed into rectangular cans and you would squeeze them to get the oil to come out faster. The sides of the can would pop as you pinched and released pressure on the can. WES

Re: I am getting excited about my Panel!!
Ok here is what I think of as oil canning. These old style oil cans worked by pushing the bottom of the can, it was sort of bowed (stretched) out a little. It clicked in and out when you pushed the bottom. Similar to this clicker toy

Re: I am getting excited about my Panel!!
Those too CG. Well another bit of bad news is my NOS hood hinges are bent now too. So after I found another hood it can't even be put on. So I decided to purchase new custom billet aluminum hood hinges. They are supposed to be a better hinge because they are more rigid than the stock hinges. So hopefully that will take all hood alignment problems out of the picture. They cost me over $600.00 so they better be good..

Re: I am getting excited about my Panel!!
Looks great! I guess the hood hinges work good too.

Re: I am getting excited about my Panel!!
Thanks guys. I will see how the new hinges work tomorrow. I forgot to mark where the holes go for the door mirror on the driver's side.

Re: I am getting excited about my Panel!!
Time for some updated pictures of my panel. I got the new hood hinges installed. I like the looks, but they are entirely too stiff closing the hood about the last 12 inches. If you let the hood go when you have it all the way down, it would jump up and hit you in the chin!
Going to call Eddie Motorsports tomorrow and get them to send me lighter struts. Did a little more fussing with the gaps and tightened them up a bit.. Overall pretty happy at this point.

Re: I am getting excited about my Panel!!
Lines and gaps are looking great. It would suck to get knocked out by a hood...

Re: I am getting excited about my Panel!!
Not a lot of progress but we have started body working the doors and shaved the hatch handle.

Re: I am getting excited about my Panel!!

Re: I am getting excited about my Panel!!
Yes, we installed the actuator and linkage earlier. It was always the plan to shave the handle.

Nice wok on the panel truck. I really like the gate and split doors.
