Get on car-part.com for used car parts. Might be able to find something from a junkyard

Dario what was the hood you used on the silver gray car? IIRC it was aftermarket.

Yeah. Of recommend OEM, though.

I have a set of OEM kidneys with the retention clips broken. Astedicly their near flawless but, you can just pull them out. They're yours for the cost of shipping, if you want them.

Here's my old thread: http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showthread.php?8519-Bringing-it-Back-to-Life&highlight=bringing+back+life

Good amount of pictures and whatnot in there, hopefully it can aid you.

Thanks, that is helpful.

Would it be possible to get the original hood straightened out, or should I just buy a used OEM one and have it painted?
No way. Get another one. The labor it would take to even straighten that would make it not worth it.

Really keen on following this thread, I was halfway considering buying this car when the owner before the one who got in a wreck was selling.
