Re: '37 Packard 120 convertible sedan hood hinge cover

On my '37 120, the closed end is to the rear, and the other end meets the donut lady's base. The closed back end of the trim is visible from the driver's seat. I'd want the paint on the hood to be very well-dried before attempting to install the trim. Some light oil might help keep it from digging into the paint. I'd put the hood on the car first and get it lined up, then latch it down and lay the trim on it and align it front to back as best you can, then mark the trim piece and a point on the hood to help get the trim in alignment front to back when installing. It may not move easily once in place, and I'd want to avoid having to take it off.
