NEED a Hood
a "friend" jumped up & sat on my hood the other night before leaving a concert...chalk it up to one too many beers I guess....needless to say I wasn't happy & am making him pay for the damages...
Some people just don't get having pride about a vehicle...
I find this 4Runner that's originally from AZ - no rust - which is unheard of here, I repaint it since the OE paint is cooked from the AZ sun & it hasn't seen snow since....
So I am looking for a new hood since I really feel like fixing it will be nearly impossible. The dent is about 6-8" long right on the hood crease & directly above a hood brace.
Any leads on where to find a good fitting, OEM quality steel hood?
I'm not so sure I want fiberglass, cause that would just tempt me into going with flat flared fenders etc...& even though that'd be nice, I'm not sure I want to spend more $$ just yet.
I've found cheap steel hoods for $75 - 90, but that almost sounds TOO CHEAP. Makes me think fit is going to suck & the steel is probably 1/2 as thick as OE...OE is thin enough IMO.
Thanks ya'll!

thanks again!!
btw TheVandMan, it was ZZ Top & the Stray Cats. Concert rocked!
I've wanted to see ZZ Top since I was a kid and saw Sharped Dressed Man on MTV. I still recall seeing the Coupe at a car show too...I bet I still have the pics somewhere....
