Height looks good , too much space in front of motor , motor seems angled down too much in rear...

Uh oh, the dreaded Confederate battle flag.
Still trying to justify everything with a tape measure. Put the front end on and wheel it outside.
It should fit thru the side door.

I don't know why people don't run hoods more often. Gives the car a modified look. Hold it down with leather belts and buckles. Old school.

I have issues with a tape, ruler, mic, calipers, dial indicators, feeler gauges, im sick... need help..

If the tape housing is 3" deep and you are reading 3 3/4" on the tape you have 6 3/4",like you stated the first time. Plenty of room for an electric fan. You should have a couple of inches to spare. Speaking of flags, I went to a car show this weekend, and there were several Confederate flags being flown. It was in a small country town, where there are lots of "good ole boys" They did have close to 200 cars show up.

I don't think the hood is big enough for a full size Firebird decal (with hood scoop).

P.S. But Burt would dig it.
