I thought I might post these as this is what I did a couple nights ago. This is my second coat of gray high build primer after blocking the first coat. Thought I might just put it together and drive it in primer to work out any problems it might have.

I finally came up with the ideal how to do my hood. The hinge on the passenger side was rusted away so I cut the remainder of the loops off on both the driver and passenger side. Bent a piece of metal to weld to the top of the side panels. Took some 3/4" tubing milled down some 5/8" key stock so that it would slide thru the tubing.  Then I cut the tubing to length, milled a 1" long slot in one end, inserted the key stock in the tubing drilled a tapped a hole in the center of the key stock and held it in place with a button head screw. Made bracket to attach the sq. tubing to the firewall and welded a bracket to the key stock and attached that to the grill shell.  Did this for both top and bottom on both sides. Now I can loosen the screws and adjust the gap on my hood panels by moving my grill shell.

Here's a few more. I made adjustable brackets for the bottom so that I can move the hood on and out. I'll have toke some pictures of those.

Bracing the roof. Made some 14ga. angles and attached them to the roof panel with seam sealer for movement, going to tack weld to bracing.
