Look what I picked up today! Thanks to a tip by BentwheelBob (the guy who owns my old Black 72 Formula), I just got back from North Jersey with this. It was listed on Facebook -it's a 1975 hood that was already stripped and primered (top and bottom). It is in really nice shape and was only 45 minutes away. It was half the price of the new repro hood and no shipping costs! Yay!

Have you ever spoke to the Trans Am Reaper in the Chicago area? He specializes in early f body parts.

He doesn't. I'll ask Bobby if he wa to me to pm his cell to anyone interested. Last year he had to have Norwood come by to id what years were what, he got a stack of hoods.

I test fitted the new hood today with the help of my daughter. The fit is too tight on the driver's side. I'm going to need to pull out the diver's side fender a little so the rear spear of the hood doesn't rub as it passes by during closing. I think there are lot of bolts that need loosening to do that. I tried removing the rear cowl top fender bolt and the loosening the door jamb bolt but the fender didn't budge at all.

There should be a bolt on the firewall also and you will have to crack or loosen all the bolts on the inner fender to get the fender to move out. Once all the bolts are tightened its now the structure of the front of the car. For now you may be able to put a body shim behind the hood hinge to push it to the pass side if you have room.
