Does anyone make hood patch panels for a 56? I started removing the paint from the hood and found that the entire left side around the emblem area is compelely rusted through. See attached picture for a better description of the area.

Thanks, Douglas

I think you'll have to make your own, or get another hood.

Spent ~11 hours on the road today driving down to East of Portland to pick up a hood in much better shape and 2 right side fenders. Got a great deal on them and got to see a 56 Suburban being restored. Fun trip!
