Re: Hood Prop for a 41-46
You're in the wrong sub-forum.
That said, when I had my '46 I DID'NT "prop" it. It laid back on itself and as long as I was gentle with it there was no paint damage, etc.

Re: Hood Prop for a 41-46
Early dodge had some hood props that mount on the round bar supports that run from firewall to grill shroud. They close flat when not in use.

Re: Hood Prop for a 41-46
Thanks folks for the input, I did look at some hood props for a 30's Ford that bolted to the rad to cowl support rods
