Grand National Hoods

[tobyp]

I have in my possession a Grand National hood. I am concentrating on reproducing the hood in steel.

Who would replace their normal regal hood with a GN if it were available.

I would definitely be interested in a GN hood for my Cutlass.

Why bother GN hoods are readily available in fiberglass and the steel hoods are not that scarce. Why go through hours of work when you dont need to? But i would like to see what you make up post a pic.

Well this is the reason why we are asking around, maybe a good idea, maybe not. I was not aware that the GN hoods were that plentiful.

I plan on using a t.type/GN hood on my 84 Regal…I was keeping an eye open for a good condition used one for a while…most of them I saw for sale locally were $500+…I ended up snagging one this spring in good shape for $80 off Omaha Craigslist…it had been repainted metallic purple bc/cc, with yellow paint under that…To answer your ?, I wanted one for the right price, I probably woulda paid up to $200 as I got closer to painting the car…

In my experience they haven't been very easy to find. Not impossible but pretty hard. Then if you get lucky and find one it's usually pretty expensive. I'm interested if the price is right.

Because I do not know the Buick as well as Cutlass, will the hood interchange to a cutlass?
