Re: My 57 Pro Street
I made a little progress on the hood.
I had to modify the front cross brace to fit. I notched it on each end so it could be bent out to line up with the new position after pancaking the hood. Kim |

Re: My 57 Pro Street
Kim, did you drill holes in the square tubing and insert the round and weld, or is it welded flush to the tubing? Looks really good.....Jim

I'm leaning toward them as they will give me a real fine adjustment on the hood position. In reality the cost for the size I need isn't that great. Kim |

Re: My 57 Pro Street
Got a little more done on the hood.
I made the brackets for the rollers that will hold the hood in the rear. I got the rollers at pic a part for $5.00. They're out of a BMW. I wanted to use them as they were but they were to short so I made some new brackets. The pics tell the story of how I did it. I used some 3/16 plate . A little cutting and I have 2 new brackets.

Re: My 57 Pro Street
A little more trimming and welding and I have my brackets.
The next step is to bend some 3/8 rod to use as the runners. I'm still trying to figure out the easiest way to do that. Kim |

Re: My 57 Pro Street
Very cool! NICE fab work, Kim!
If they don't make it, or you're too cheap to buy it, then make it yourself. Most of the time, it always turns out nicer anyway, and you can't beat the price!
