Thanks for the measurements, and I tried to make this compound piece a 
few times, looks like I can only make it square.
So what do you guys think.....1.75 wide all the way or 1.25 all the way.
Trying to make it tapered with 2 bends and an 1" rise just doesn't 
happen at home with basic tools even a metal brake.
Since this car is already 2 cars cut and welded together, some minor 
changes to the bonnet will never be noticed ;)
Everything from the grille down on this bonnet, if it's even there, is 
swiss cheese. I have to fabricate the radiator shroud, the whole front 
apron is basically gone including this channel. Even the cheeks where 
the fenders meet the apron are swiss cheese and the lower corners at the 
rockers were not there. I made them tonight and they look pretty good, I 
did make one cheek too but the apron and everything inside it is a bit 
tough.
