Is there hope for this hood?

Vermin, my Avatar '29, has what I believe is an early Issac Kramer repro radumator & it has them hooks on the top tank to hold the hood up. It even still has the hook clips on the bottom tank for the headlight wiring crossover. It doesn't leak & looks as if it has NEVER had any repairs. Shortly I'll be firing him up & see how it cools. Supposedly, it was built with an increased capacity in the top tank, which extends about 3/4" in back of the shell. I'm anxious to compare it with an original. Bill W.
