1963 Hood Weather Stripping

[Dave S.]

The 63/64 Judging Guide says the hood weatherstripping runs across the width of the top and over each corner downward to approximately even with the hood latch pins. The photo in the Judging Guide shows it across the width only and not turning downward. I suspect the photo is correct but want to clarify. Hopefully the rewrite team can clarify this in the next revision.

FWIW my friends one owner untouched 64, late vin 22XXX wrap around towards the front. Earlier ones didn't by what I've observed.
