Parts request: Hood and fenders

Post by bryanthompson »

Hey folks. Does anyone have an un-dented rust-free hood and / or front fenders they'd be willing to sell me?

I'm prepping for body and paint work on the blue car, and my body man feels we'd be better served to replace the hood and front fenders. Doesn't matter the color, as they will be resprayed.

Thank you!

I have never seen a hood without those dimples or "eyebrows" caused when the hood is popped down, and than popped back out. I think I have seen several hundred Tercel hoods, not a single one without the dimples. Good luck finding one.

I tried to do "paintless dent removal" on mine, improved the appearance, but did not make them disappear.
