Hot Rods ID the hood on this 27 T roadster please

Is this off something or does it look home made?



I may be looking into putting a hood on my RPU, but not sure what will work to go from a 27 T cowl to a 32 grill shell

Just wondering what works best for this type of set-up?

I'd like to do louvers on top like this one as well
thanks for any info and if ya have pics of others, they are much appreciated, especially old ones!

looks handmade to me, have a look in the search archives for aluminum hood? quite a few guys have made their own on here (i think kiwi kev did one for his RPU).

 

Yep looks homebuilt! Be difficult to find a hood that would fit a 27 cowl and deuce grill!

 

I just made one for my 24 T to a Kurtis style nose,a job but can be done louvers last

 

Looks handmade to me.
You have any info on this roadster?

 

One of the Glass body makers made a hood top for 27 T body to 32 Grill I remember seeing it in a magazine article on Parsts suppliers but can't find the article now that I need one !

 

Check out Seret's T coupe/roadster. Kick ass alum hood on that. Hand made.

 

Yeah, that hood is great, also check out how they fit the thing, very cool tech there...

 

Homebuilt definitely, damn good job on the fit and finish i say.

 

handmade for sure.

 

I saved the signs from my business building for parking to use for hoods and hood sides on a Track Car project. Nice aluminum.

This car's hood top and sides were probably made from pure virgin material though, not scrounged stuff.

 

Hey Branbi thanks, my car used to be a coupe, so the roadster cowl is a little different. same basic shape.<p>

 

Sweet hood on your coupe/roadster Seret!
I may wanna speak to you later about making one (just the top half) for my RPU someday

Are those Sellers equipped knock-offs on those wires?
They look nice.

I saw that roadster at VLV and I am sure it is a hand built hood. I fell in love with the car and now I think I need one just like it.

 

For sure, I can make you a hood top.
Yep those are Sellers knock-offs.

 

I built the one on my 26 track roadster out of .050 half hard aluminum. I used my thigh, the basketball hoop pole in the back yard and an argon bottle. I made a posterboard pattern first and then startedwith a piece 1/2" larger all around. Louvers later.

 

Cab,

If you're looking for someone to punch louvers for you when you've got your hood done, let me know. I'm just over the hill.

|Henry hood on a '27 is 26 inches from cowl to rad when measured on the top hinge... side curtains are 26 and 3/8ths...
