and i'll curve a DASH one if i can (have to)...

This thread has a pic of the hood script. http://kfclub.com/forum/index.php/topic,5723.0.html

It measures 5" long by 2 3/4" tall.

Why don't you contact John Kepich in NC who makes many other KF scripts that he sells on e-bay?  They're make of 304 stainless so they will bend relatively easily to fit the contour of the hood as compared to the original pot metal ones that break when bent.

Send me an address and I'll send you a hood script. It is missing two posts and it needs chrome, I was going to use it but found a good one .

There is currently a KF reproduction dealers license plate topper on eBay.  If  you find the item look at the sellers other items.  He has made a couple of scripts out  of aluminum that he sells for a good price.  Perhaps he could be talked into doing some Henry J scripts if he got a few orders.  The stuff that he is reproducing are in aluminum and look very nice.
