56 Flip Hood
For you that have flipped your hoods, What are you using on your cowl where the hood meets the cowl. In MidFifty’s catalog it saws don’t use the original cowl lacing.

I did , 3/16" X 3/8" with a 3M sticky backing comes in 8 foot length. I also put clear film on the cowl to protect the paint when the hood opens. It has a tendency to scrape near the outer edges of that cowl ridge..

I’ve got your measurements John. I bought a Kit so I can see what your measurements depict. Then I’ll make my own next time.
