69 Nova SS hood questions

[Schonyenko2]

A good used hood is preferrable if you can find one that doesn't have the stress divit about 3/4s of the way back from the front where there is no underhood bracing. They tend to tweak there due to repeated opening over the years, or tight hinges. It is a difficult fix depending on your skill level with body work.

Don't use a '73/4 hood, it will overhang the grill because of the lip molding area.

Use an original if possible.

Thanks Guys,
After the bad Goodmark hood and a recent Craigs list hood with louvers in the wrong spot and some cut bracing, I found a perfect 1969 hood for an excellent price.

Thanks, Rick
