vette59jdwl  there's a  company that I call on that makes a hinge real similar to the original, they use it in the product they manufacture, I'm sure they will let me have a few sets if your interested if you decide to replace it. I had already made my mind up that I wasn't going to run the side panels until the boss showed up out in the garage  gave me her opinion, so I came up with this ideal and this way we both get what we want., ;D ;D ;D

Here's what I came up with for the hood and how I'm going to make the sides removable.

That's some nice clean fabrication all around. How far off the ground is the bottom of your battery box?

Very nice work ;D
Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!

I really haven't measured but I do know it's well above the scrub line

What radiator is in your '32 ??     Following your hood  build... I like the concept of having removable sides...  Good  work....

I was just curious. It looks good there.

I purchased a CC3132 from Champion, removed the Ford mounting taps on the sides and made my own brackets lined with rubber for vibration. Hope it will do the job, They say it's good up to 800hp.  I've mounted the condenser in front of it and I plan on using a 16" pulling fan with 2700cfm.

I have two of those radiators, have one in my 33 Chevy (TPI SBC) and using a Taurus 2 speed pull fan, the Taurus shroud fit like it was made for it.

Have one on my son's 37 Chevy sedan (LT1 SBC) and because of clearance used a Derale 17" fan #18217 (2400/1800) as a pusher, but can be used as a puller. The Derale fit just right.

The 33 Chevy hasn't been on the road..but the  radiator easily keeps the car cool around the yard and idling. Just got the 37 running last week and the LT1 fan from the factory doesn't kick on until 226 degrees!..so far so good.

I used the same radiator in my '32. I have a mechanical fan with a universal fan shroud. All this summer it has gone over 180.
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

Ed   Do you remember what year Taurus you took the fan out of?  I like the ideal of a two speed fan.

Don't remember the year Taurus but they are rated as 2800/4500 CFM. What I like is that it fit that radiator like it was made for it. If you search the Internet you'll find a lot about that fan, here is one link (there are others):

If you get into a bind..I have an extra one only in case I secure another project ::).

BTW: Wanted to use one on my son's 37 sedan...but the Taurus fan is a puller and we didn't have the space..so had to go with a Derale pusher.
