Where can I find.....

I have a 1955 ford f100 and just put on a me hood. Couple questions:

1. How do I adjust the hood

2. There used to be a rubber seat (2) on each fender, the hood seats itself on these when closed, where can I get these?

I can't help you on the adjustment, it's always been trial and error for me.

The hood bumpers can be found at many of the parts suppliers. I'd order them from Mid-Fifty.

Part number 2008.

Start by installing the hood first. Get it alligned with the cab, then hang the fenders to fit to the hood. It sounds odd, but its the only way to get it all lined up and spaced right.
