My bodyman (ENOCH) was listening.
He emailed me these photos of the progress on the hood, which he and his crew stripped by hand the last few days. Luckily it is very straight and rust free. Other than a possible warpage issue from the original carb/engine bay fire it seems to have survived the ordeal relatively unscathed. We're still looking for a driver's side fender to cut up for a patch panel in case anyone has one from a 70 to 81 Firebird laying around.
