Hi Kevin,
I went with a “tried and true” method ..... GUNK. Many large cans were used to cut through grease, oil and dead paint. Actually cleaned up nice.
Original hood insulation pad is a little tired and has an impression of a “fit all” radiator hose, but it’s 54 years old.
Keep in mind there are several early (about the first 1/3rd of 65 production) components found under the hood of this 11A build.
1) early style Shield (finger guard).
2) red positive battery cable.
3) power steering pump pulley.
4) heater hose bracket (plated).
5) aluminum fuel line to carb.
6) intake manifold (plug), RH front.
I was able to locate NOS Upper and Lower radiator hoses, plus I had an Original long heater hose with the 3 molded lines (old wrecking yard find)
