Guys,



I was on the way to a shop for some transmission work on my 56 Fairlane when at 50 MPH the hood "FLEW OPEN".

Well it was a moment I will remember for a while. Wrapped the hood onto the top. Didn't break the new windshield or even dent the top. As you would expect the hood is now "u" shaped. It did however mess with the tops of the fenders.

Not bragging but I did win 2 first's this year in the modified class against some scrubs. I will put it back so we Ford guys can show them that these cars are crowd pleasers.



Lucky I have a spare hood................But does anyone have a passenger side hood hinge? I think it's to bent to straighten.



Jim
