I know the '50 models are pretty much a "one year only" as far as a lot of parts go, but the '50 Champion hood sure looks a lot like a '51 hood. Does anyone know if they will swap? Thanks.

The length will match, but not sure about the front end latching etc. The Hood ornaments will need changing and possibly the holes for same.StudeRich

1950 and 1951 Champion fenders were the same but it maybe that the inner fenders were not.
