Hood panel question
Does anyone know where I can get the panel for the front of the hood that holds the latch pin? I have looked at classic parts and Chevy's of the 40' s and not found I.

Re: Hood panel question
I don't believe that they are available as a repro. The best I can suggest is that you should look around for a damaged hood with a good one that you can buy for a few bucks.
I might have one but don't know what shape it is in because it is sitting back where the sprinklers on the wheel line hit and may be rusted now. I'd have to fight my way through the weeds to get to it.

Re: Hood panel question
best is to snap a pic of exactly what you have need for and ask for anybody that may have the part available to PM you. otherwise we have no clue what you actually need. year, model would help but a pic says a thousand words.

Re: Hood panel question
I'll add that to my " I gotta do this" list for tomorrow. I have several in the shed and outside of one that I am saving for my truck the rest don't mean anything to me and won't be expensive. If they aren't good enough for me to use they aren't good enough to send to anyone and I'll see what I have and try to post photos.
