Hood repair
Has anyone replaced a portion on the inner skin/support on our hoods. Specifically the passenger front corner above the battery. I can't find it made repop.
if anyone has that front corner on a hood that they are willing to cut out and sale please let me know.
Just the inner it seems that years of battery fumes has worked over the one I have.

I have a repop hood and it is not stamped correctly. The body lines do not match up. And it was not cheap. I am getting a OEM hood ready to replace the Chinese hood I have.
These original parts are not available in the area that i live in. To the extent that i hauled this one approximately 400 miles home. These are not even available in salvage yards here. So i was hoping a member here had one that they didn't feel like was usable and would be willing to cut out and sell the small piece that I would like to replace.

Yes gotta get a new quality repop hood,$$$$, used OEM or get some one to cut you a patch panel is the only option. I have never seen the inner hood reinforcement reproduced.

For as much as hoods cost and the potential crappy fit, I'd fab up some metal and fix the bracing on your existing hood
However, I am with you on looking for new metal
Junkyard is your best bet, and I'd just get the bracing, cut the spotwelds out with a special spotweld drill bit

Where are you located, I might have one that I can cut up out of the hood from the truck the wife rolled. Drivers side of the hood took a good hit, but the passenger side area you need may still be good.
