I'd like to get the pieces I'm missing to repair the hood I have - or if you want to go the other way, I'd sell the hood I have if you have a '71-2... Not looking to spend a fortune on this, just need some broken pieces!
take a metal 71/72 hood and make a fiberglass mold over those sections. Then use them to cast internal fiberglass pieces.

Not a bad idea. I have the hood listed in the for sale section, so you can see what has been done. Is the top side the same shape as the OAI??? I hate that this is such a perfect hood and some jack wagon took a grinder to it....

I think this should be fixed to be the '71 it was made to be. I was just going to send you a reply on another thread... It sounds like you have the whole top skin? You can send me any pics you have to rasiegrist@gmail.com. Honestly I'm looking for just the front pieces that could be cut and spliced somehow. If you look in the parts for sale you'll see my hood listed there and what it looks like with the eyebrows cut off. I'm trying to decide how to repair it without going into the poor house, lol Let me know what you have. etc. I'm in NE Ohio.

71w25 what you have is more than I was thinking, but what condition is the top side in? How difficult is it to take these hoods apart? I know where I can get a Thornton metal frame, but man, I'm overflowing with hoods in my garage and none are getting onto my car lol
