1940 hood handle.
This was a repoop.(And I do mean poop)
Required much modification.
Would not fit in the stock hood ornament.
Required modification
Bracket inside required modification.
Thanks to my son for all the help.
(He can stand in positions for a Long Time that I can only dream about.)
He did need some help from me as he did not understand 85 year old technology.
Why didnt they use Phillips Screws?
They were not invented yet.
The piece works well after all the work.

Happy Motoring!
