You could sell that to any HVAC Mech starting out I bet
No I cant. My stubborn ass will convince myself I actually need it, cause where will I get another for free lol. It’s a vicious circle of crap hoarding.

I’ll have to dig up the pics of the 50.00 GTO hood I resurrected, had stuck and they went at it with a crow bar. Had to cut out inner latch catch and weld in a scrap one to lineup. Stilhave flat hood in case I ever decide to put on a high rise or blower…LOL, like it needs one. Dyno hit at 510HP/525 Tq at 5200RPM.

I was talking to a few guys that recommend I panel bond the new quarter piece on. I may go that way. All seams will be covered or hidden and no welding means no warping lol.
This is my hood project. I still havnt ground it down completely for welding yet. I was just test fitting it after fixing a bend in the outer edge.
It’s not as warpy as it looks. Between swirl marks from taking it to bare metal and ungroun edges on the side pieces it makes it look a bit funny for now

Nice, I’ve got a 92’ Saleen clone, rear seat delete with 8 point roll cage I’m doing for the wife. 95% ready for paint and assembly. Just need to get time ,money and energy all at the same time to finish it.
Agree on panel bond, hoods will warp just from sanding too aggressively

The hood will be welded… if it goes to hell I will paintbit with vinigar then clear it… “patina” haha.
That 92 will be a nice car!

Nice! 6 cylinder 8s perfect for a first time driver. Mine had a 352, but with a granny gear. It was. More than I really needed, but could have been worse. Good find!!
When they passed the seat belt law here, my buddy had a 65 Chevy next to my 65 Ford. They were old enough to be exempt from the law. It was a bragging point for us. Who needs a seat belt when you are cruising back roads with a beer in your hand?
