David, the bottom of the bonnet prop rod attaches to tab that is welded
underneath the interface between the fender and body and hangs down about
1.5 inches. I think it is between the second and third bolts forward. I
have seen some cars without this piece, whether it was missing originally or
not, I don't know. I have seen replacements bought/fabricated and bolted in
but that never seems to hold up as well as welding. I know that isn't much
consolation for someone with fresh paint. If you don't get any takers with
dimensions of where the part is located, I will measure it tomorrow and
email it to you.

Can someone enlighten me as to what this part may look like or how it may
attach to the body? Even better yet if someone has a spare although I
suppose I may have the part without realizing it since I don't know what it
looks like.
