I don't have these braces on my 57. Does someone have a pic as to where they go. I'm sure I could figure it out if I had them, just wondering if they are necessary. Thanks!

Will, if you don't have those braces in place, your hood probably flexes a lot when you twist it at the front. The braces really make it a lot more rigid. I ended up fabbing my own main and diagonal braces for my '56 cuz I didn't like the factory ones. ;)
