Sadie has a couple of odd hole/rust/bondo spots on her hood (haven't sanded it down to see exactly what the deal is). I've pretty much decided that I just want to get a new hood rather than messing with repairing the old one (old Sadie's hood has some rust in the bracing on the underside and I don't really want to mess with that either).
I have a ton of body panels that I had originally bought for old Sadie that I no longer need for new Sadie (including an orginal tooling fender still in the box). I haven't done it yet, but I plan on calling around to the 2 nearest mustang-specific shops and seeing if they'll trade a new hood for some new body panels (if they'll trade, I know they won't give me an even trade, but I'll probably never get back what I paid for everything anyway - I'll lose money one way or another - might as well get a hood out of it).
Anyway . . . 67 repro hoods (with turn signals) go for around $180 and the original tooling ones go for around $375. Which would I be better off trying to get? Are the repro hoods really horrible to make fit? (I've read lots of horror stories about repro fenders).
