And I have been thinking about a fiberglass hood but they are a little steep. If I was buying new thats what I would get. I have seen some nice ones in the yard but dam theres never one when u need one. I think im going to start collecting spare sheet metal parts when the opportunity comes around. I think i will try posting on craigslist

there was a place advertising on craigslist a month or so ago, i think the adds still up in the sarasota auto parts section, for fiberglass hoods. of im not mistaken they were $279. for a bolt on model. they were from out of town but were coming down to the area for an event as a vendor and part of the deal was if you ordered it ahead of time they would bring it with them and then you wouldnt have to pay shipping. of course the event is over, but im sure the adds still up, it was last week, and they do ship. ill see if i can dig it up, never know, they might be coming back soon for another event or something.

here it is..they changed the add a bit .... http://lakeland.craigslist.org/ptd/2993498313.html . $270 bolt on, $170 pin on, $110. shipping to florida. might be worth asking them if they plan on coming back down for anymore events in the near future if your interested in spending that kind of loot. i found a place that has nice fiberglass cutty parts, and they have a complete 1 piece clip for the 81-88 cuttys but not for the 78-80 cuttys, anyone know of a vendor making front clips for the 78-80 cuttys ? always wanted to do one with a flip up front, that would be great.

heres a couple cool things i found on craigslist, if anyones looking. theres all kinds of parts and decent priced G bodys in this area if you look around. im strongly considering buying a hurst or 442 in really good shape at the end of this year if my cars not close to done by then, might anyhow. check out the second link i posted, looks like a really sweet deal. figured id post these here instead of craigslist thread since more local guys are likely to see them here, these are ft myers and sarasota area stuff.

81-88 hurst bumper cover- new
http://fortmyers.craigslist.org/chl/pts/2992224358.html

'88 442 - new 455/400turbo , cowl hood, newer paint, extremely nice $5500 - if i had the cash this would be GONE :mrgreen:
http://fortmyers.craigslist.org/lee/cto/3017982872.html

'82 cutty, 54,000 original miles - $1995 O.B.O
http://sarasota.craigslist.org/ctd/2981018138.html

G body hooker headers $200.
http://sarasota.craigslist.org/pts/2970362204.html

custom made billet grills for 78 cutty
http://sarasota.craigslist.org/pts/2969898370.html

i dont generally like used car dealers, but this is a great deal for someone who cant come up with the cash-
84 hurst with t-tops and low original miles - $8950 w/financing - if its still there
http://sarasota.craigslist.org/ctd/2956168362.html

glass t-tops, claims they fit montes, cuttys regals, etc, dunno about interchangeability though $200.

Yeah I was thinking about checking that car out. It would be worth it if it reall has the gn rear end like he says. Also there is a guy trying to unload a 78-80 regal with a good engine/bad transmission. The body looks real good. He has steadily dropped the price and now he'll take $800
