Thanks, I must have been misled by the mounting of the hinge on the firewall not being vertical. It is a little annoying to be able to push the back of the hood/bonnet down nearly 1/2" after getting it latched!

As an aside, I tried to get anything for Sally at the local pick-yer-part but they were fresh out. Lots of 200-series cars, however. Sigh, seems like just last week (lat year, really) there were several 140's, 160's and a lone 121.

There were a couple of those Ford polycast wheels someone here is using but they were just too nasty looking at the contact around the rim to trust. Found a steel 16x6.5" wheel (on an Eagle so it wasn't what it REALLY came on) that is really picquing my interest if only I could discover what it is for... I suppose its possibly a space-saver spare from some size large rig but it wasn't marked as such (and that's not much of a savings in space).

bla bla bla
