Hi-I am trying to restore a '54 starliner and when I purchased it the hood was shaved. I am trying to re-install the V/8 but am having trouble. If I try to install the V where the holes were apparently welded up the V does not fit flat on the hood. The tips of the V are hitting on the nose of the hood preventing a flat fit and the upper part of the V is away from the hood while the bottom of the V is very close to hitting???Is there an exact measurement from the bottom of the hood to the bottom of the V that would give me the proper location of the V to get the desired fit or any other helpful hints??????Many thanks

Once bought a 53 coupe with a pair of NOS front fenders. It wasn't until I tried to mount them that I found they were for a sedan. It's amazing how little interchanges on the body.

Many thanks for your help. I had another V for a '54 that needs chroming but I tried it and guess what? It worked...I bought the one that didn't fit on e-bay as being good for K body '54 and sent it off had it chromed and now I've got a beautiful V for something I have no idea of what it fits...Any suggestions as how to be sure you're getting what you pay for on Ebay???Thanks again to all that replied.
