Hoods

[glenn in camino]

Another difference in the 28 hood sides is that the bottom rolls out, ( a design flaw),leaving a gap on the outside that collects water and rust. The solution is to run some Por15 down the hole before painting.

We all have to remember how "Henry" used up parts; your pictures 2 and 3 are 29 Hood sides and the parallel louvers top and bottom makes the determination; As far as the hood clips, probable used up what was on hand.

I have, over the years, seen two different early 29's that hadn't been restored; the driver side lower hood panel was 29 with parallel louvers, the passenger side lower hood panel was 28 with the taper appearance (because the louvers are all the same length). I guess Ford thought you couldn't see both sides of the car at the same time ?

Here's a better photo of those clips. Now if I can just remember what goes where.

The hood goes OVER the engine. LOL

Yep, Rusty was right about the rounded corners on the hood clips. I thought they looked square in the smaller picture.
