Braze
is usually a very good body shop repair .seldom done by body shop except very
high end cars . It seems way too time consuming for a production
line , ? impossible, gas manipulation cleaning filing after etc takes skill and
lots of time But maybe a vendor made a low production hood like this in pieces
.
Lead does not secure it ,lead is only a filler - under
the lead on bodies is a weld often crude . Braze is great stuff . It is as
strong as steel for all practical purposes . And rust proof
I know there are at least two designs of 57-59 hoods , different brace set
ups under the hood etc . ( from hood pin project ) . Maybe that means two small
vendors made them .
It makes sense that that front nose would be hard to make in one large
drawn steel piece with a large expanse of metal , so they made that separately
and brazed on top — by a vendor . It may also be an excellent repair , something
fell on hood .
All conjecture , interesting thing .
