Wow! You got ambitious Hopefully no paint chips or scratches. Should be easy to get at those 2+2 Louvers now. Are you working in your little garage. Must be tight.

Well,
Unfortunately we had to go stateside to get the bushings, but hope to have them in a few days. Went walking through our local bone yard today looking for some possible replacement hood hinges.. looking like I may just get springs and replace the existing ones..

I had my 67 Impala hinges rebuilt by http://www.sms-auto.com/
Send them your old ones and they come back like new with correct rivets etc.
The did a very nice job and when I got them I had them painted with Por15
Good turn around time.
Very satisfied.

Thanks Cliff,
The only issue with that is I still want to be able to drive the car! Although AB is redneck, they still require us to have a hood on the car....
Ok,
So, here's what we did today.
Bet the rad just dropped right out.
