Hood size

Post by Divcoone » Tue Apr 28, 2020 3:38 pm

I picked up a aluminum hood but its 1.25 short for my speedster. What model had longer hoods?

The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

1911 was the only year that Ford produced the special Torpedo and open roadsters that used a slightly longer hood (mentioned above). A lot of people like to use the torpedo hood on brass speedsters.
