That is AWESOME! I have two un-usable hoods that are perfect everywhere except this area I thought I was just going to have to junk. How much is it?

Cool! You'll sell every one you make, is my guess.

It's about time. I can't figure out why no one made one already. The hood fronts are ALWAYS rusted. Good hoods are few and far between (and expensive). I'm sure you'll sell a ton of these.

Thanks for taking care of a real need instead of repopping something everybody else already does. Now, how about a roof with windshield pinch weld and big back window?:lol:


***EDITED TO ADD***
I've also heard a lot of complaints about the under hood braces. Once they rust out, the hood gets flimsy. That may be another patch to look into making. Food for thought.

For what it is and the kind of POS you'd create (more-than-likely) trying to fab the same in your garage (excluding Alan, of course), that's a reasonable price.

Mac. :chevy:

Sorry
I wasn't saying it isn't worth it, I was portraying my sticker shock....didn't mean anything by it....
If you need one, and can't find an OEM piece, this is certainly the way to go :thumbs:

Run the numbers backwards Joe. At $35.00 per hour - could you or anyone you know fabricate that piece in 6.28 hours?

:lol:

Subscribed. How hard would it be to install? Maybe a video.:metal:

Nice item...I would like to see the recommended installation method of this piece, since it has blind spot-welds on the ends.

You need a blind Welder. I only have one eye left working so I could get it 50% corect:lol:

Sorry

I don't think you will find a recommended installation anywhere. But I guess someone may have some old info. It can be done

jb4short 10-06-2009 07:50 PM

Re: new product
 
I looked seriously at these...you need a blind welder......OR use panel epoxy adheasive. I think it would make a better repair anyway

Re: new product
 
I just went through several '62-'66 Chevy truck hoods at my shop, stripping them to shells. I think I will disassemble the nose on one and experiment with this patch panel. I would like to see firsthand how they go together and what the quality, fit and finish is.
