Well I finished the hood (for now at least) over the weekend. Got it all sanded and polished and if it wasn't for the bits I don't like it would be really good !?!?!?!?!
Id have fitted it too if I hadn't had a Doh! moment when I flipped it to fit the Dynamat. That would be the Dynamat that hasn't arrived yet! Got confused (not hard these days) with the stuff I already have for the inside of the cab and for the Vette's hood. Anyway not to worry I should have that in this week.
Anyway I got the hood hinges and springs fitted

Just a shame I couldn't find the nice new spring installation tool I bought, but the springs are now on as well!
I also got the steering column fitted

But it is very tight and I'm at the max adjustment in length.

Also it doesn't fit that well under the dash. I can only get 1 fixing in.

Think I will either add a couple of extra holes or elongate the ones already there but m also short of longer bolts. I have few spare American threads but Ive a lot of metric so I may have to tap the fixings out to 8mm.
