    What is it about NEVER throw away car parts that people don't understand?:coco::biglaugh: Nice save though, I salvaged mine with a donor frame but it was damaged, not rusted through.

    Frank...where did you get those pieces of metal that you welded in?

    My grabber hood isn't nearly as rusted out as yours is, and would be much easier to fix if I had those metal inserts.

    You left a drain hole in the middle so it wouldn't rust out again!
