Hey i need some help from my 1956 olds owners...im working on my hood and i need someone to measure their inside hood like ive shown..i need the measurement gap from the metal bracket to the inside hood...i need to weld mine back because i can see the metal has cracked and split and moved way outta skew.. if you could take some pics and also give me a measurement that would be a lifesaver...thanks shane
