OK so I had a little hood mishap. The fan blade let go, I have 4 of the five blades, they are pretty crumpled up. Part of the fan mounting flange is still under the bolts against the fan clutch. This is a 90s truck serpentine setup. I’ve begun my search for parts and a replacement hood. The mechanicals are going to be easy, fan, shroud, radiator and heater hoses, trans cooler lines, battery should cover most of it. I’ll need to splice together the wiring harness. Looks like my RnD fabrication radiator is OK.

I’m going to start looking for an original equipment hood. My question is, are the reproduction hoods any good these days? I know they have not been good in the past. Is anyone making a great repop?? Second question for the factory restorers, did the underside of the hood come body color or black, I painted mine black then I did the frame off, will go with factory this time.
