Here's one for you guys. Does anyone know what it would cost to do a 3"chop on either a Streamliner 2 door sedan or a Chieftain 2 door sedan? I am talking about ballpark pricing or even how many hours it would take. I am just outside of Saskatoon. Thanks, Doug

1957 Hood Panel Seal
(Preview)
Can someone post a picture of the hood brace seal as mine is gone. All I see that is left is the staples that held it in place. Just wondering how long and wide it is and if it extends to the rear of the brace by a couple of inches. Thanks -- Edited by Canwag57 on Thursday 24th of December 2020 09:46:39 AM
