64 Plymouth hood ?

[miller]

Long shot questions on a 64 Fury, Sport Fury hood.

Wonder if anyone could take a measurement for me? What I'm looking for is, top side at the rear of the hood...how much 'rise' at the center rear, from the two rear corners?
Anyone know if there was any difference between the various B body makes, or are they all the same?

Still bummed out, on my hood fit, so asking so I can decide what I'm looking at. Not the original hood for the car. Center of hood is almost a 1/2" higher than the cowl plate. Yes, had the cowl plate off, for rust repair, and real careful getting it back on same position.

Sure, I know mostly just going to match-up the curve, hood to cowl plate.
Just like to know if the dang hood is bent, or what!

The hood I used is old but I believe it is good enough for these measurements. Because of the back curve, I had to place the straight edge on the underside supports end to end. Measuring from there, in the middle of the hood it looks like about 1 3/4 inches higher in the center.

Thank you, very much, Shorthorse! Really appreciate that.

At least with a base number, I can check it. Walking by the car, I pushed down on the rear of the hood. Has alot of flex, enough where I can probably bend it, to fit correctly. No cuts on the flange there. Pretty sure I can get it bent right, to fit.

Lessons, even for an old fart like me! In a nutshell, I screwed up, by not fitting the hood first, before the front fenders. I'll get a little time on the street first, loosen up the front body, and make it right.
