It took 7 years to find the Chevy hood I ended up with, and I consider myself lucky to have found it.

I also wanted to try a 1960 Chevy double hump hood with gloss black inserts and spent additional years looking for one of those. But I like the one I have (and my wife prefers it), so eventually I lost interest and moved on to other priorities.
hey mark, let me know if your priorities change back. i think i got a couple of those mid sixties gmc hoods in good shape. pm me when you're interested...by the way, i'm one who likes the early sixties hoods and your original is cool.
