  Cupcake, Did you use a stick welder ?? I thought I saw some sticks laying on the hood.  I can't weld anything that thin with a stick welder.

Nope I used a MIG. The welding rods you see in the pics were tack-welded to the patch pieces, to be used as a handle to make it easier to hold them in place until I could get a few tacks on them.

I don't see the front ribs. Is that a real daytona hood or am I just not seeing them?

Larry, I removed the ribs to make it more closely resemble a real Daytona hood.  ;)

I thought we settled that issue ? Most , but not all Daytona's had ribless hoods ?

So far, 100% of the original cars I've seen had smooth hoods - including 287970 which many of us believe was essentially a pre-production prototype.  By no means have I seen them all, but I know of at least one low mileage car that has been used as an "example" of an original ribbed hood car - whose hood has actually been changed out (and I know where the original hood is at too).  In other words, I would question whether a ribbed hood car actually still has it's original hood.  It is POSSIBLE that there is an original ribbed hood out there, but the vast majority (if not all) of the Daytonas had smooth hoods.  IMHO the burden of proof would be on anyone who says their car's ribbed hood was original to show proof of that by way of photographic evidence. :Twocents:

Chris did his hood exactly right   :2thumbs:

Thanks Sunshine !!! I thought I heard Mike G say that not all Daytonas had  ribless hoods ?

I think Geno covered that pretty good. I don't remember seeing any origional hood Daytona's with a ribbed hood. Or none that anyone actually claims is the origional hood.

I was not questoning whether or not all of the daytona hood's had ribs. I was questioning as to whether this hood was a real daytona hood or had he removed the ribs...sheeesh.  :icon_smile_big:

Not to be a smart ass, but why has it taken almost 4 years to fix the hood?  :shruggy:
