    I have a 37 Ford pickup that's finally together and on the road. All steel body. Needing suggestions of brackets used to hold both hood sides up to show off the engine. I don't trust the indentions over the firewall to hold the hood up. Anyone got any pics they can post of this?

    I just use the indents on the cowl. Never had an issue.

    You might be able to take the idea and improve on it, but this is what is used on 48-53 dodge trucks.
