'66 A Body folks, please...

64ragtop said
Thanks again, folks!!! If it turns out that there are no holes in the 64ragtop's hood as shown in your posts, removing the hood and drilling my own could be an option. I'm not really looking forward to it.

After reading that previous thread and the current one, I'm pretty sure I'll order the '66 piece and modify it as needed. It ain't rocket science and I think your pictures have shown me what I need. I'm a little embarrassed, though. I really should have searched that previous thread out for myself. ("Search" is your friend and mine) I thought my little bump in the road was SO unique - - (didn't think is more like it!)

Any other thoughts, pictures advice or comments are welcome and I'll welcome the chance to learn more.

I've been thinking that if you don't have the holes and didn't want to drill them. then you could take a piece of the door windlace that grips the pinchweld and put int on the radiator support top piece. that way the rubber bulb of the windlace can act as a seal to the hood without drilling.
I think I found it at rt specialties @ 2.50 ft

I used a portion of the windlace also for my trunk seal(all except the bottom strip where there was no way to hook it to the metal. (I used regular trunk seal there on the bottom with the black weather strip adhesive to seal the ends together)
