So, Ive been working on this 69 wagon a little while I am waiting on the trunk floor to arrive. I decided to do some work on the hood which had what appeared to be some minor issues. Basically, the threaded holes where the latch bolts into and where the safety latch bolts to were jacked up, so I think it would be a relatively easy fix, well as they say "best laid plans"... Turns out that at some point this hood was either laying flat or perhaps on a stationary car because a family of rodents moved into the bracing and set up shop. So I had to cut out some of the bracing, remake the support plate and then replace the parts I cut out. Now I am finishing out the scoop opening.
