    C5 Holes In Inner Hood Support

    I probably should not have posted my question on top of Joes thread. I apoligize. Here is my experiance with re-bonding the inner hood support and my question.

    I have just "glued" the hood on my 65 back together. I went to NAPA, Auto Zone and others and nobody had "hood mastic" or gumdrops. Based on information I found in the archives I went to Lowes and after reading the labels on about 20 different tubes, settled on an adhesive that said fiberglass and stays flexible. It took 3 days to set up, but I think it will work out ok.

    Now for my question, Bubba had solved the problem by using pop rivets which I drilled out and am in the process of filling. Can someone post a photo of the inner hood panel, I think the holes are supposed to be in the tabs where you put the adhesive but I don't know. There are two holes in each large tab, and 1 hole in the smaller ones.

    Thank you in advance,

    George

      Wayne,

      Yes Wayne I am sorry to say you have it right. Holes through the tabs and the hood skin, add some pop rivets, a little bondo and good to go. This project has turned from cleaning and repainting the inside of the hood to 30 hours later wondering if I should be looking for a used hood.

      Thank you,

      George
