Reply To: Anyone with 1934-1935 P-A ?

Mika,

Definitely 4 guys to lift the hood, certainly when the car has nice paint on it! Here’s a little trick, though – you can remove the side panel hinge rods, and then the side panels one at a time, to get rid of more than half of the weight, then two guys can do the top part easier. (You can even slide the two top panels apart.)

The rods can be knocked slightly forward with a drift punch on the rear end, then the forward end chucked in an electric drill, and spun while pulling out. A little WD-40 helps.

Cheers,

Bob Jacobsen
