Right now I'm deciding between putting in the man hours to repair the hood that was damaged, or going on this goose chase looking for something as close to original as possible.
I'm not sure about cutting louvers into a hood. I'd never really thought about going that direction.
I may just have to settle for a reproduction. I did find a reprod. that was pretty accurate...
I'm also project managing the overhaul of a 71 Cuda convertible and have been looking for parts for this as well. I'm converting to a 440 with a 6-pack. This one is a bit of a clone...it's a 440, 4 barrel. We've got the carbs, and intake, etc. But we're fab-ing linkages...unless anyone knows where I can find those also!
