haha I was thinking the same thing I have been looking FOREVER and this one looked good. I am going to continue stripping it and see what a shop thinks if it can be saved or not.

I don't think that hood is too bad Paul. The hoods I have come across in the past month were junk. I used a refrigerator magnet and most of the time the magnet would stick in maybe one section of the hood, that's it.

One man's junk is another man's low cost learning opportunity. Not too many body shops would properly shrink the metal to repair, they would just add filler.
