new hood?

got started on my final paint and body and i realized a better hood would make my life alot easier. i know that they make a fiberglass one, but does anyone now of a place to get a steel one? used is fine, actually better for budget reasons.

There have been some on Ebay lately although shipping costs may make them overpriced. Try Bob's F100 in California. You might also call MidFifty and see if they know anyone having a hood forsale. Also see them sometimes on Fordbarn.com

Out of curiosity, what is wrong with your current hood?

where the hood meets the cowl its ripley. i think it might be easier to find a new one rather than take the time to straighten that out.

Patience is a virtue when it comes to body work. I possess very little when it comes to body work. Out of all the things I did on my truck, that is what frustrated me more than anything.

My earlier comments are probably of no value to you. I just visited your gallery and see you have a 49F1. Those I suggested mainly deal with 53-56 stuff.
