In every restoration project, you get to a point where you need some little things that just don't exist anymore.
We just put the doghouse on the truck and set the hood. (Details of that are on the project page). Now, we need the little rubber bumpers that sit on the grill section that keep the hood from rubbing on the grill. There are six of them (three to a side) as well as a couple of "buttons" at the rear of the hood at the firewall. I'll post a picture later that shows these pieces. We're using donor pieces from a '51 truck to set hood clearances.
These aren't the weatherstripping that is available from KWAS. I called KWAS and they don't have these pieces.
Is there anyone out there who knows of a source for these?
If not, we'll make something...
