    I've got a 30 sedan on a 32 frame with a 32 shell and need to know, if the length is correct, will a 32 hood hood fit the radius of the 30 cowell?

    Thanks guys.

    The radius is the easy part to fix (bend it over your knee). It's the width, length, height and bead shape that are the hard parts to match up.

    I could be wrong, but I think Rich Whalen managed to fit a 32 hood on a model A coupe.

    I don't recall what Laidout53's hood started from, & I hope it's ok I reposted from his build thread, I think he did a tech or another thread on how he stretched & modified it.
     
  15. It's two 30/1 hoods to get the extra length, not a 32 hood.
    Great car and work, but not the answer to the op's question.
