    Are their hoods any good? Any other options if they aren't?

    I remember the last time I was thinking of restoring my Maverick (10 years ago...) all they had were crappy fiberglass ones. I have little hope finding a non-rusted-out junkyard hood for my Grabber and noticed they are selling steel hoods these days.

    Curious about their other body parts as well I guess. I've got a bent up rear valence as well.

    Dynacorn reproduction hood yes very good. But I cannot recommend getting it from Auto Krafters. Got mine from Melvins Classic Ford Parts.

    I second the Melvin's recommendation!

    Alright cool! There might be one in my future. Looks like their prices are the same on the things I just looked at.

    Turns out Melvin's is about 45 minutes down the road from me. Do you know if they do local pickup? I noticed the site says they're only open one day a month though...so probably not.
