I always thought the backside of the 56 hood bar looked ugly. It has part numbers and other lettering (Danchuk) on it, and it's not even smooth with sanding marks and die features. I know most people wouldn't think twice about it or even notice, but it's bugged me for a long time.
I took the hood off the other day and decided to do something about it. Also, as I pointed out on a different thread the studs are at an angle to the sheetmetal, so the nuts don't seat right.
Here's what it looks like "stock" (except for custom hood latch and brace):
4024 4025
I fabbed some covers for the backside:
4026 4027
And here's what they look like installed:
4028 4029
Which way looks better? :) I still have to get/make some tapered washers for the button head screws. Hope everything still fits. :eek:
