I hear that!
Sid, by trimming most of the flange off, they look like they should be welded and finished off as part of the bonnet.
Unless you use some small a$$ rivets.

I'm glad to see you boys back on track!

I really like what you've done so far. Cool project!

Personally though, I think they should be black.

Those do look cool (pun intended).

Have you decided how you are going to fasten them?

And you're gonna put them on the top of the hood as opposed to having them fastened to the underside? Any sealers or gaskets?

Seems like once you get the first holes drilled and fastened the rest will be easy.
