I've been kindly given a damaged repro Shelby hood for my 66 coupe. It was damaged after my friend, after a quick underhood "peek and tweak" at the track forgot to replace his hood pins....well you can guess what happened when he got up to speed !!!
I've yet to do a thorough inspection, but from my recollection the metal frame is a little bent, and the fiberglass has cracked at the rear of the hood and scoop.
Anyone ever attempt to repair this sort of damage? Any suggestions as to how I should go about it? Do you think I'll be able to repair it to the point where I can use hinges, or am I now doomed to a 4 hood pin world...? TIA - Dickson
BTW, even damaged it still looks awfully cool in wimbeldon white with blue Lemans stripes...../forums/images/icons/cool.gif
