As I said in an earlier post, my DB hood was removed from a restoration shop a few years ago. I now have to have a new hood fabricated. A very generous "Brother" has provided me a lower side panel so that I can have another made from that. He also has a newer top panel. It was pointed out to me: The early hood details are a little different than the post-1916 hoods, in particular the way the top panels overlap the side panels at the side hinge point. The later hoods butt together at that hinge point.
If some of you with early cars can send me some detail photos, it would be greatly appreciated.
I will follow up to this thread later this evening with some photos of my cars body "issues". Although the rolling chasis appears to be very early, there is a question as to the body. I will post photos and seek opinion.
Thank you all.
