32 Hood Center Hinge Cover
Since the windshield swap on my new highboy is sounding more and more like a project I don't want to get into immediately, I have decided to do some other subtle changes to the car that hopefully won't be quite so labor intensive and require body/paint work. I like the look of a stock 4 piece hood, as well as the associated trim on the bullnose and cowl, and have considered adding this trim and a false top hinge cover to my one piece hood top... Can someone tell me, (or better yet, show me some pics) of the stainless hinge cover on the top of a stock 32 hood? How does it attach to the hood/hinge? What does the bottom of it look like? From what I've seen in catalogs, I'm thinking it is held in place with brackets at each end. I'm wondering if i could somehow attach the trim to the center of the hood so that it lifted with the hood. i have never actually seen this piece in person, but am envisioning a rolled piece of stainless, "hollow" on the back where the hinge would pass through. If that's the case, could the backside be filled with epoxy to make it have a "flat" bottom surface and then attach it to the hood with 3M molding tape?
