Hi everyone, Well, this is a sad post for me, but last night the "wind storm" we had here in Atlanta knocked over a basketball hoop in my friend's driveway which landed right on my hood. Murphy's law at it's best, as that basketball hoop has been standing there for over a decade and has never fallen over. So all I had to do was park a DeLorean in front of it, and bingo. I had a nice, late '81 hood with grooves and no gas flap, no dents and minimal x-mark. I would really like to find the same thing to replace it with, and only want to get a "flat" hood from Houston as a last resort. If anyone has an accent line, no gas-flap hood they are willing to sell, I would be eternally grateful. Please drop me a line. I'm assuming that what I've read before still stands as true(?): That the black structural support attached to the underside of the hood is forever fused to the stainless, and that any dents that occur opposite the black support are impossible to fix. Correct me if that's wrong. Naturally, 95% of what happened last night is along the edges, opposite the black support beams. Thanks a lot, -Derek L VIN 5302 To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
