Only a '81-'88 Cutlass 2 door hood will fit, nothing else will.
Which, was the same answer he got in his other thread before starting this one.

So let's pre-empt a bit...

No, a monte carlo hood won't fit.

No, a regal hood won't fit.* the * being you could swap fenders, bumper, header, inner fenders, fillers, and hood, then not have wheelwells match, etc etc.

No, a grand prix hood won't fit.

No, a El camino hood won't fit

No, a Caballero hood won't fit.

Neither will a hood from a Honda civic, Toyota carmry, a camaro, a firebird, a f150, a caravan, or any other vehicle you want to dream up

Just like you saw and acknowledged before starting this thread in the other thread, ONLY A HOOD FROM OR MADE FOR A OLDSMOBILE CUTLASS, 2 DOORS, 1981-1988 WILL FIT.

I mean, they didn't even BUILD an 86 malibu, having ended production in 83 and retiring the nameplate until the 1990s... so it's kind of a WTF moment. The fact it was posted a significant amount of time after being told the only hood options after asking about using a caprice hood just makes it worse.

That said, that guy passed out in the corner. He got mental overload from the series of questions and took too many shots in quick succession

Probably yup to his neck fixing more previous owner G-body mistakes. :)
Hes on Monte Carlo Nation on FB. Trying to figure out why the stud on his alternator is loose. He got the wire with the fusible link from a Chevy truck at the junkyard. No other words needed... 😲
