On the hood ornament, is it 3M stickied or did you pierce the hood and bolt it?
Keep up the good work. Now I wish mine was black!
I figure the only way to make our marron one look better is to give it some more chorme. Chrome is good!
The Ornament is a 38 Chevy and it was too heavy to us 3m, so I bolted it on. Had to drill two holes and used black silicone caulk. That was a little tricky because of the extra piece of metal that is tacked to the Hood. Got longer bolts at Home Depot. You have to be careful not to over tighten. I used 3/4 for what you call whiskers.

kind of wish you would take a side shot but far enough back that you can see from the front doors up and the whole side

Cj, I took some of those, but the reflection was so bad that everthing on the hood kind of made the ornament lost. I will try it again on the next overcast day. See What I mean!
