Anyone have an alum hood for an 82 Firebird? - Page 2

I know a well known racer who had a problem with an aluminum hood.

He looked for a long time trying to find another one. Then on the way home one day he saw a car in a field for sale. Low and behold it had an aluminum hood. He bought the entire car just for the hood. He also parted out the rest of the car, and scrapped what could not be sold. I believe he ended up $1500 to the good, after subtracting the cost of the car.

Win!

Just a thought.

We bought the car a couple weeks ago and currently the hood is NOT for sale, but yes it is aluminum.
