Installing the Hood on a Project Car
Brent Ackley & George VondriskaBrent Ackley and George Vondriska close the book on their latest project car! They teach you how to carefully install the hood on a 1956 Chevrolet 150, showing you the proper technique for slowly lowering the hood onto the chassis so that you can check its placement and make adjustments before sealing her up and hitting the streets!
All right. Here's what we did. The first time we put the hood on, we very gently brought it down toward the chassis so that we could check the alignment between the hood and the body. And we had to do a fair bit of messing around to get it where we wanted. Then raise the hood up again.
The protocol is the same as what you've already seen which is the bolts that secure the hood, go through oversize holes in the hinges that allows some wiggle room. So we've got some adjustments to go still, but... I'm dying to take it for a test run. It's enough that we can close the hood. Brent can get it on the road.
So Brent, great job on this vehicle. Thanks for your help. It really looks good. It sounds good. Hope you've enjoyed the information we've brought to you on the 56 Chevy.
Hood is closed. The 56 Chevy is closed. You talk, I'm leaving. All right. Hope you enjoyed this.
Get out there and spin a wrench.
My Acer AC700-1099 Chromebook fan now races very high...at least once everytime I use my Chromebook. Sometimes it will evlleuatny correct the fan speed; however, this morning it just ran super-fast without correcting itself. After a while I turned my Chromebook off, and restarted which corrected the problem. This all started after the .32/.39 updates.
