rodbrady 18 Report post Posted July 7, 2014 I need a replacement hood from my '69 coupe. I have located a used hood, which is supposed to be clean and straight from a salvage yard for $500, including freight. Or I could go with a new "Ford tooling" hood from CJ's for $470 delivered. Any opinions? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian Conway 264 Report post Posted July 7, 2014 I have heard many damaged in shipment stories. Apparently hoods don't transit well. The salvage yard hood would be my choice if I could pick it up.. Brian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobh67 18 Report post Posted July 7, 2014 Get the salvage yard original.... I have had 2 Ford tooling hoods that fit terrible, with bows on one or both sides. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
