New 1969 442 a few questions
Hello everone ,
I have recently purchased a #s matching 69 442 . Cameo white with two tone blue interior. i have a few questions here they are
The hood is bent just forward of the hinges both sides with no damage to the front of the hood or fenders all parts are original inculding paint.
1) Is this a common problem due to stiff hood hinges?
2) If so has anyone been successful in repairing a hood with this condition?
3) I cant seem to locate a clean used hood. Any recomendations?
4) I know a 70 hood has a different striker/lock mec. Has anyone reworked a 70 hood back to a 69 i.e back to a single pin striker rather than change out core support
5) If none of the above are an option is there a good fitting aftermarket steel hood made ? what company is best fitting parts.
thanks Scott
