Bob, how'd you wreck it? And if you are looking for a hood for a good price, and want one in great shape, I'd just go with one of houston's hoods from the 83's. I knwo people waiting months trying to get a gas flap hood, or grooved line hood. You might want to ask Josh Hadleman here on the list as he has several parts D's right now, and maybe he'll have a lined hood, but he has been trying to buy my gas flap hood for a year, no one want to part with the gas flap hood. Best of luck. Was the accident your fault or someone else's.
