My '41 Command car had such a flexible frame the hood would ride all over the place. I'm sure it would have pulled out of it's pivots if not for tie rods. Plus rode all over the cab and nose pieces.
Dammit, things are not meant to be that rigid. The rad should flex with the body.
How about one tie rod down the middle to keep the hood from pulling out of it's pivots? Or maybe a V, from each side of rad to center of firewall? But Vs get rigid... Y? Rubber bushings from shocks?
