Small update -
I’ve been spending an hour here and there in the shop when it’s not too hot out. Mainly been working on the hood. It had a lot of flimsiness to it from the rotting hood brace pads. I did a pretty thorough search on here with minimal luck on what to replace it with. Tried using the foam pads but they didn’t work too swell. So I talked to a fella who restores cars for a living and he said i would Be better off using some 1 part sealer every 6” or so. Seemed to make the hood more solid. Hopefully it holds up too well and the hood doesn’t move too much with the fluctuating temps... time will tell.
Test fit with the new hinges I’ve had for awhile. They seem to be a nice piece. The manufacturer forgot a couple pieces so i couldn’t hook the gas struts up yet. Hopefully i receive them in the next week or so.
Tonight i was able to get the hood in feather fill. Back to sanding
