Possibly wrecked, but also just possibly re-assembled in a sloppy manner. When I opened the front end of my 40 to do the timing cover seal, and then put things back together, I spent forever getting things to line back up. The front end fits together in so many odd little ways... and you've got two fender bolts not in place... it could just be shoddy re-assembly.Looking at replacing, installing the weatherstrips on the side pieces above the fenders and noticed the passenger side way off from the driver side (gap size). This strengthens my theory that it was wrecked in a previous life. I also found two of the four bolts on the frame for the fender support broken off.

On those hood hinge pins, I took a “C” clamp and a small pin, put the clamp in a vise, just to hold it, and then tightened the clamp with the pin pushing on the hinge pin. You can either offset the clamp a little so the pin will push out the other side, or if you have a small piece of pipe, you can put that on the other end so the pin can push through and into the pipe. I hope this wasn’t to confusing, it might sound like it, but once it’s all done it’s very simple. I oiled my hinges and then did the “C” clamp and the pins came right out.Tried like hell to punch outlet the pins on the hood hinges, with no success. I did throw some new hardware and gaskets on them but will have to try the hinge pins again another day. Any pointers on those little bastards?
Also was able to source a better condition driver seat bracket, mine was toast.
