Hi, all. I am wondering if anyone here has any suggestions/direction for me. I bought a pretty decent Hurst 300 18 months ago, and moved it from their storage shed to mine until I'm ready to get serious about it. The hood looks pretty decent as far as the outer fiberglass skin goes; probably repairable, but the fiberglass is pulling away from the metal frame along the front edge. Also, the metal hood frame is rusted. I've been watching for a good hood since I bought the car, but have seen not a one. I talked to a bodyman that said he could pull a one-time mold off my hood since it was straight, lay a new skin in the mold, and then re-glue it on a good metal frame from another 300 or Newport hood, but at $1500 parts and labor, with no guarantees on the result, I'm pretty hesitant. I'd rather let the car go down the road to someone who has more experience with specialty repairs than start tearing down a real solid car and not be able to finish it properly. This thing is still rolling on Polyglas tires, and is way too cool to not be properly restored. Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks, Mike
