    :cry::cry::cry::cry: My fault ... was at a light .. bent over to stick the speaker wires back up under the dash and I guess I kinda letup on the brake. See that is why I want a Standard shift car!!!!! Well .... besides the hood and the really nice trim that was on it I don't see any other damage. Small scuff on my new front bumper where it slid under th truck bumper (plastic covered luckily).

    Good thing is it wasn't a Grabber hood! :clap:

    Need a hood?

    Dan, I have pretty nice piece of hood trim if you want it, should buff out nice, it ws a little dented, but I straightened it out and sanded it smooth. I have a near perfect one too, but I already drilled some weep holes in the back side, I'm keeping that one.

    PS, I may be interested in that hood if you get a new one, you can keep the scoop :drink:

    That sucks, definitely could have been worse. You might be able to straighten that hood.

    Terry - You have a nice rust free hood in your collection? I'll also trade you that Comet scoop and some cash for the Grabber hood on your 77 .... :)

    Looks minor but with the curves, the crimps and the rear support right there I think it would be better to replace it ... Besides there is a possiblity is was bowed as well .. it is definitely sitting higher on the fender on the driver side now ...

    Two things:

    1. That's why you don't EVER drive them for a daily driver...just trailer them everywhere you go just to be safe.

    2. With the new hood, you can paint it black and now join the Georgia Black Hood Maverick Gang.

    I got dibs on a new hood .. it's currently orange! Picking it up Saturday ...


    and if it was a still a big bumper car ... the police would have had to come because I would have damaged the other vehicle!
