Hello to all. I am new to this site and I'm not sure where to or how to post a question. I was wanting to know if anyone can tell me the brand of a good fitting 66 SS hood? The hood on my car is low in the back corners, high in the center area and ok in the front. This is the area all along the hood to fender area. You can look down the edge of the hood and see it drop off about the last 12". If I raise the rear up, the center will be very high. I lowered it in the rear to make the middle look a little better. Does anyone make a nice fitting Reproduction hood? Thanks for any information. :beers:

Mine was like that (opgi)
Big hammer and a block of wood got it straghtend out just fine.
The front lip does not even come close to matching the fenders, but I am building mine as a commuter car-----no intentions of it being perfect by any means.
Seems to me the vront of the hood at the lip, is about a 1/32" too wide on both sides.
My hood is fitting pretty good now except for the very edge of the front lip.
Not gonna worry about it

I'd rather spend $500 for an original hood than $300 for a repop and spend another 10 hours making it fit. I would think you'd be better off buying a flat hood and grafting the humps from a repop hood onto it.
