[TR] [6pack] Replacing TR6 hood

[Joe Laurito]

I used that technique to "profile" the trunk lid on my TR3. Cracked all the
paint in the valley about two inches from the edge. It evidently takes
someone with more skill (or finesse) than I possess. Being older and wiser,
I'll pass this time around.

Joe,
Both rear edges of my hood are up and it's also not a problem with the
rubber cones being adjusted wrong. Years ago I asked a restoration shop
about it and he said the way they get them to lay correctly is by
"springing" the hood. Basically they'd put a block of wood under the hood
and "bend" the corners down to get the correct curve. I'll pass on that
technique and live with the raised corners. Unless someone has a simple
solution.

And Art Lipp's throttle shaft bushing & his steering column bushings are
both great. He told me he'll be bringing a bunch of them to Carlisle.
