    image.jpeg I was able to find a good hood hinge on Craig'slist for 35$ P***enger side was bent and an older fella had it in a box of extra parts :) So it's finally on. I still need to adjust it. Any advice?

    There are instructions in the 1952-54 Shop Manual most important is lube them on a monthly basis.

    Just yesterday I fitted a set of 4 new 205/70R15 Firestone reinforced radials. I can post a pic or 2 later, anyway the car looks much more "correct" now, given the fuller wheel wells.

    I have my fair share to do in this car too. Need new rockers, front floor boards and a rear quarter. Maybe the fenders too :(
