Any time you need pics posted Tim, just send them over and I'll make sure they get posted. Such a great car, it needs to be on the road again!

I went to visit the Z28 today and I’m going to take tomorrow afternoon off to take pictures and do some cleaning as long as the sub frame assembly is separated.

The sub frame looks kind of cool sitting there with the engine and transmission in it. The shop has found a nice used RS front end and fenders. They had bought a used hood, but when it arrived, they were very disappointed and chose not to keep it. There was some unacceptable damage to this original hood.

The shop is tempted to order a reproduction hood and I’m wondering if any members have some input about using a reproduction hood. Is the fit and quality good?
Should I press him to find an original hood?

I’ll get some shots to Randy to post tomorrow.

Thanks.

To me the last resort is a repop anything. JMO

Tim,

You can get an original GM '70 hood for less than $150 (plus shipping). No reason to go reproduction at all.

There are a couple of guys at www.nastyz28.com that always list sheet metal for sale in the classifieds. Do a search there for hoods. Pretty sure there is something there.
