Let the hood fly up did ya? Unfortunately noone reproduces that panel . You'll only find the cowl assembly on a wrecked car. In order to replace it you'll have to remove your entire upper section, cowl assembly from the windshield to the seam on the firewall ,fender to fender.

I'm sure a good body man with cutting and welding skills can cut just the top finish section off and weld in a straight one. But, I'm sure your vertical hinge/firewall section is bent as well. Its gonna take some work to make it straight again but it can be done.



I recommend repairing yours and replacing the hinges.
