Re: C2 Hood Ledge Bump?
I'm hoping more people will respond to this issue. I've just acquired a '66 coupe with the body/trim tag reading April 19 and a St. Louis car. IF this car was ever repainted it was many, many moons ago.....back in the day when a repaint was just that.........in those days most car people (read virtually all of them) wouldn't have used the term "restore".
I have five visible body joints on the front half of the car forward of the firewall (two short vertical seams near the nose, one long horizontal seam on each fender, and one horizontal seam between the headlight buckets). And I'm certainly no expert on GM fiberglass but this surely seems to be GM plastic.
Of course what this is leading up to is that this car does not have a bump. And all of you say it should. And if the car was repainted it had to have been 30 years or more ago. Any other cars out there without a bump in the gutter/drip rail on the driver's side?
