Great work on the machining, and very clever.

Good work.
you have photos how the hinge put on the hood and car ?
thanks
yes, there are some photos of that too -did you need more than are on my web site? if so, let me know what you need and I'll try and take the photo.
I have made significant progress, so go back to my web site and you will see the hood on the car and the hood spears in place for a test fit - now I need to make the clips that hold the hood spear (aka beltline molding) in place, see below:
