620 Tinwork.. Ugly ?????

Does anyone out there know what the heck it is?

I really want to just buzz it off of there "Even if its all straightened out, it still has an "Unfinished" look to it. Any information is appreciated.
THanks,

Are you sure it's not on the fuel filler side of the bottom edge of the hood? On my '70'D there is a 1/4" edge that runs along the edge to prevent fuel running down the hood from running along the hood edge backward and dripping onto the engine block. In fact, the aft end of it is pinched tight.

Could that be what you're looking at?

Thanks Ace.

Talk about a Brain Lapse. that was one of my better mistakes yet!.

AcE:

I wish I had a better picture, but I"m on the road, so this is what you get. The edge is stock of the same gauge and type, spot welded to form a lip that leaves the hood edge at about a 45* down slope. See the little sketch of fuel dripping off the deflector. THe back end of the lip is pinched tight to prevent the fuel from running backwards of the shelf.

My 520 has it and I always thought it was to support the sides for a heat houser.
