Brian Wilcox's '32 Five Window Coupe just arrived at the shop. We'll be starting with what Brian already has and make a turn key rod of this one. Stay tuned as we begin the process.

First thing is we have to pull the motor so we have more room to work on the hood and grill shell.

Now the motor is pulled.  That is one Bad Ass 302 Ford.

Time to start fitting the hood we have to see if all are gaps are proportioned just right and if the grill is in the right place.

We're starting to fit the rear of the Carolina Custom hood hinge kit by mounting it in front of the fire wall.

Now we do the same thing to the front by mounting the hinge to the rear of the grill shell.
Carolina Custom hinges are now in place and ready for the hood.

As you can see we had to stretch the hood just a smidge so we used a welding rod and tacked it in place to give us the length we needed. 

We had to stitch weld the rod in place little by little to prevent any warping of the hood.

Now it is all ground smooth and ready to be put back on the car.
