Looks like you need a good four tab hood

I was about to say the same thing. James king has a couple of them for sale.

Are you telling me it wrong year hood?

Since no one else has said it, the front apron is incorrect too. Just making sure you know

Should be an H (also called a four finger) front for a 59 and halfway through 1960. Your rear apron is correct though

this one is from WolfParts

even notice how this one from Autocraft isnt exactly perfect? The roundness in between the fingers is more square. It's hard to beat WolfParts

In addition to the 4 tabs, the side bracing is 1959 and 1960 only (I think). Thats not a big deal, but the 4 tab part is. It takes a different emblem and is flat, instead of the round bubble

side should be braced like this

None of this is a huge deal, I didnt want to point it out in case you already knew or didnt care if it was not quite perfect. Most people don't go any further than looking at the paint to see if it's nice or not
