Hello all looking for some help. I need to replace the original hood on my rig. The top of my original Hood is too wavy and I cannot put enough filler in it to make it smooth LOL. So.... I'm looking to buy a reproduction. who has had good luck with any reproduction suppliers? looking for one that fits good and is straight....
Thanks
Eric

I can't imagine there are more than 1 or 2 different manufacturers of hoods. All sold under a dozen names or more. I traded my repop cowl hood for a rusty stocker. (It was installed on my Burban when I bought it but the paper work showed it came from LMC) It was less work to do the rust repair than reshaping the hood. I would have to be very confident of a free return policy before I ever go with a repop hood or fenders. Plus there is no guarantee that the hood you receive won't be damaged by the shipper.
Good luck.

Good OEM hoods are fairly common on this site....I'd get one of those.
