Part Brand:Lincoln Surface Finish:rusty Placement on Vehicle:Front

Offered is a hood latch panel removed from a 1949 "Baby" Lincoln.  Please see last photo for before removal photo.

Damage to Hand/Safety (?) latch area  (Please see photos 4-6) Latch & bracket are messed up and torn... and actual panel, on lower edge, is also torn....spring is OK.  Not sure if this latch is all there or even what it looked like coming out of the factory. If someone knows perhaps it can be straightened out and TIGed or suppose, as a last resort, could be removed all together.  Damage does not extend beyond the three tears (pic 4-6) in the hand release/safety latch area.

Actual remote (cabled) hood latch/release mechanism works fine but appears worn at the clasping plate business surface.

Panel is 28-3/8 inches along its upper edge.

Please allow 3 business days for extra shipping time.  (Special trip has to be made to drop off at Fed-ex pick-up location)

May have few other parts from this donor.  Hood dash panel heater core duct work etc..

Will do my best to answer any questions or concerns and thank you for looking...
