Re: {Chrysler 300} 1958 300D Hood

[John Grady <jkg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Braze is usually a very good body shop repair .seldom done by body shop except very high end cars .  It seems way too time  consuming for a production line , ? impossible, gas manipulation cleaning filing after etc takes skill and lots of time But maybe a vendor made a low production hood like this in pieces . 

Lead does not secure it ,lead is  only a filler -  under the  lead on bodies is a weld often crude . Braze is great stuff . It is as strong as steel for all practical purposes . And rust proof   

I know there are at least two designs of 57-59 hoods , different brace set ups under the hood etc . ( from hood pin project ) . Maybe that means two small vendors made them . 

It makes sense that that front nose would be hard to make in one large drawn steel piece with a large expanse of metal , so they made that separately and brazed on top — by a vendor . It may also be an excellent repair , something fell on hood  . 

All conjecture , interesting thing .

I am having my Hood painted as you can see in the attached picture

 

In looking at the picture of the unpainted  hood can anybody tell if the way the nose piece is attached to the hood done this way by the factory ?
