Re: 28 radiator hood lacing

I'm no expert on a 28, but I know on a 39 and 40 model, the lacing stops at the split rivet, exposing the screw. This detail is pointed out on page 94 of Jim Hollingsworth's book on the 1940 Packard. I also helped restore a 34 Master Deluxe Chevrolet last winter, and it used the same detail under the hood. It just makes sense that Packard would have done the same in 28, so you can get to the attachment screw without having to remove the lace.
