I have a 68 Sprint that will never be #'s matching so I am doing it the way I want it done. I am in need of a regular hood. I have been looking for a couple weeks and decided to try here. Any thoughts or ideas? No carbon fiber garbage, I want metal.
Media blast is done and I got a good one with very little rust (Pass Floor due to leaky heater core is all that I need to replace) Along with a bent/warped hood that can be saved, just needs a lot of TLC in the body shop. Crate 330 HP 350, TH 350, w. 3:55's, interior is ready to go in, going to be silver with the raised part of the hood black, over the top and around the tail lights and spoiler.
Thanks for reading!

How much? Where you located? Can you send pics. No bows, dents or warps? I can't use a 67 because of the latch difference.
I am surprised these are so hard to find......I sure would like a new one, but may not have a choice.

Generally speaking, they are pretty easy to find. Location is the key. It will probably cost you as much to ship as it is worth. Original 400s are the tough find.

easy to find? I guess I am not working hard enough. I see fiberglass ones and such.......Any hints as to where to look?
I am in Utah and am getting kind of desperate.
Thanks!
