News update:; New hood was acquired along with a new roof, the rest of the cab was junk ! Myself and a friend bought the 40 ford p/u that I mentioned in my last post, picked it up for $1000.oo , got a whole truck minus motor and trans, plus and extra bed and 3 extra rear fenders . I also got a 40 ford Deluxe car hood in the deal. My share was $400.oo and I think that's a great deal for the hoods and roof and also got the original seat springs and ply wood bottom and whats left of the riser ( it'll make a good pattern). Planning on selling off the Deluxe hood. Now I just have to get this stuff blasted and primed so I can start putting all the parts together.
