Bummer, selling the hood off your car. Is it a factory hood? Any rust in the frame? Is the screen still there? You didn't list a price so it's probably more than I should spend right now. Mine has cracks in the glass but it's very fixable. I'm thinking you said you get up this way now and again. I'm pretty sure I have a decent 1970 metal hood. If you pick it up its free. John

I went to check it out and it is very flimsy with little to no support built into it. There are very raged edges and the thickness of the edges is very uneven, to name a few things. We decided to get the car in there and test fit it which didn't turn out very good either the gaps were horrible. My body shop guy said it would cost an extra $400 just to make it fit somewhat right and that it would still not be perfect. I called glasstek who said that's impossible because there hoods always fit great and thay have never had any complaints, and that my body shop guy doesn't know what he is doing. Which i don't agree with because i've seen his work and he has built many $100,000 cars! I've searched for 2 hours on this sight for other posts on glasstek hoods and haven't found much.

My car is so original it hurts...
I'll keep the original parts, like the stock seats but without a a PHS like the goats have, you will never be able to document most 442s or w30s to get top price ...
w-30s are hot, base 442s not so much ...
Don't worry I won't drop in my rat mill ...

The w-machines and non vin cars need original sales slips or other supporting documents ...
You can be pretty sure by matching #s and parts with the correct dates but I hear that Oldsmobiles do not have as tight a spread as other GMs'...
