Re: 1929 Packard Hood Details

Hi Jim,
I have a 645 7 passenger Sedan. My hood has one of the steel clips intact that fasten exactly where you describe. I am not sure if there were opposing clips on each side as only one of mine has survived. They are one inch wide and made of 1/16 inch steel, attached by a single domed rivet with a 5/16 inch head. It appears the rivet was painted the same color as the hood. My guess is that when the hood closed this clip reached down and wrapped around the hood bar that runs from the firewall to the radiator outlet. Can I ask a favor? I need advice on a replacement exhaust system. Mine has been modified and parts (brackets) are missing. Could you send pictures of the brackets for yours if you know it is original style? Thanks
