Default Re: Radiator, Shell & Hood Align on My '32

We had two strips of hose and some dumb dumb under the lacing, still not there and it looked like crap. Who knew an otherwise perfect no modification firewall had a slightly damaged lacing channel. Totally un-noticeable until the hood was "fitted".
