Hey Bob, I wondered where you've been. I'll try to get you some location pics and shoot you an e mail. Git er done. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

I've got measurements somewhere, I'll see if I can find 'em. No need to be too exact with the tach location, they were sort of like stripes - 'close was good enough'!

Re: Roof Deuce Restoration
 

Bob,

Here are a few reference photos for a "ball park" reference with and without(a bit hard to see) tach in place. This hood is original to the car.

Re: Roof Deuce Restoration
 

These pictures will work great.
I took a long break from working on my car; I really do not have a place to work on it during the winter. I'd like to get the paint on this Fall. I've debated the bc/cc vs. ss until I can't see straight; I'm going with ss (I think). Got a good formula for PPG ss Cranberry Red?

Re: Roof Deuce Restoration
 

Bob, I have a template somewhere. I see if we can scan it and send one to you. I have a ppg bc/cc formula if you want it. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Bob,

Re: Roof Deuce Restoration
 

I tried to find the fairly recent thread on radiator cap restoration, but couldn't https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif . Someone suggested using Windex and quad-ought steel wool. Worked wonders! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif I spent the last two evenings using plenty of elbow grease as it is pretty slow going. My Windex had a little vinegar (acid) in it which I think helps. Last photo compares my restored original to a reproduction. It is not a bad repop, but there are differences in the brass rivet and some details in the letters.

<font color="blue"> Big thanks to the fella who suggested the Windex and 0000 steel wool</font> https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif !
