Holes for crossram in '63 330 hood?

[SUPERSTOCKRACER]

easiest way to make holes is put the threaded rod in the center carb hole on each carb. put a grease mark or paint mark on the tip of the threaded rod and slowly close the hood to get the impression on the underneath side of the hood. close it easy until you feel the studs touching the hood. lift up the hood and you'll see your marks. then get a compass and make your 5" holes putting the poinyt of the compass on the paint mark.
hope this helps.

Yeah, well I don't have the crossram yet but wanted to cut the holes before paint.

Oh well...

paint the underside after the crossram is put on.it will definitely need to get touched up after you cut it out.
