Thanks guys! Don't forget, Steve. Minimal tools, minimal ability and talent to match! But seriously, thank you for the compliment.

So after some wheeling on the wheel I placed the hood skin on the frame I drilled that into the frame while I centered it up. Knowing I now have it where it needs to be more or less, I removed the skin and mounted the hinges. I then welded the skin to the frame after I verified everything operated correctly. An interesting note was that later in production they increased the gap at the hood to header panel intersection due to complaints of interference.

Of course lots of final metal work to do, but time to crack a Shock Top Pretzel Wheat beer and enjoy my labor the past two weeks!
