Don't know about a 36 but my 38 jr those afore mentioned 3 bolts in the center section do the job but on my 41 110 the center slides under a part of the cowl and is secured only at the radiator end.

OK.. time to figure out my hood issue. So do you fellas think I am missing the attachment that bolts to the cowl? Does anyone have a schematic or pictures of what I might be missing?
On mine it does seem there is a place for the end of the hood to slide into but nothing secures it in place... ??? Thanks for the help on this one!!!!

Beginner question for you experts!
Where the radiator hose comes into the top of the block is that the thermostat? I have a leak there and need to buy a new gasket. Thanks!!

And they say you can't find good help these days! Ha... you seem to find very talented help in those Hollywood Hills. You may need to trade that for a Packard limo if any more lovely helpers join your Packard Pit Posse.
But seriously, I am glad to see your making good progress! Jim

I am so pleased to see your son digging into this project. Sounds like you have some good tips on the wood graining. How did you fellows come out on the engine / trans. with the previous owner?

Yes, they are flat metal with the tabs bent at right angles. My rubber was totally rotten, but I dont think it needs to be bonded as the screws will hold it tight anyway. I would think that a galvanised or stainless material would work nice, but it needs to be rather thin so it can bent to the body shape but also be stiff enough to actually hold the rubber.
My steering wheel is black as the car was a standard model. No fancy paint here. Seeing as yours is painted already I think it would look great in the same cream as the body. The auto paint works great, just roughen it up with some sanding paper. I did this on my 61 chev steering wheel and it is still in good condition. What is your plans with the dash?
