During all my years in this hobby I have seen a lot of black hood stop,silver cad hood lock mecanism and so on.Today I learned that the LA built cars had yellow dichromate hood mecanism, hood stop and the open up "thing". I guess you never stop learning. Check out the date code. 4 for 1964 and 9 for September. Sweet!
This was great news. The hood has two small cracks so it will not need so much work to get in shape again.
