Re: Marvin (1953 3100)

Hey thanks all for the supportive comments - having the most fun sharing Marvin with with community!

The back of the hood flopping around and hitting the cowl is the biggest rattle I'm dealing with now in my truck.

Nice, safe location to keep him in!

Thanks for stopping to take a look! I don't think we got the chance to chat? I might have been off running around somewhere - possibly buying a corn dog. Or two. Looks like this was on Saturday afternoon once the rain finally stopped. Fun show!

I don't have any good pictures handy right now, but there was some additional metal added along the entire length of the back edge of the hood where it meets the cowl. When I get home from my work travel later this week, I will take a couple pictures and post them up!
