Thanks for the help. A couple of pictures are attached. The hood is not sitting properly and I am not able to open it. The release is sandwiched in the bumper. I also found a crack in the windshield.

I had my '56 in The Austin Speed Shop for a while. They do a lot of good work, but can be pricey. All the staff was very friendly. If you are willing to travel a little bit I had been given the info for a shop in Kempner,TX which is supposed to be very honest and good priced. Let me know if you want it.

Find a way to pull the bumper out some or remove it and you will be able to access the hood release. Sent you a pm.
