[DMCForum] DeLorean Hood Needed

["lakelanier20" <derek4567@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi guys,
     Well, this is a sad post for me, but last night the "wind 
storm" we had here in Atlanta knocked over a basketball hoop in my 
friend's driveway which landed right on my hood.  Murphy's law at 
it's best, as that basketball hoop has been standing there for over 
a decade and has never fallen over.  So all I had to do is park a 
DeLorean in front of it, and bingo.  I had a nice, late '81 hood 
with grooves and no gas flap, no dents and minimal x-mark.  I would 
really like to find the same thing to replace it with, and only want 
to get a "flat" hood from Houston as a last resort.  If anyone has 
an accent line, no gas-flap hood they are willing to sell, I would 
be eternally grateful.  Please drop me a line.

I'm assuming that what I've read before still stands as true:  That 
the black structural support attached to the underside of the hood 
is forever fused to the stainless, and that any dents that occur 
opposite the black support are impossible to fix.  Correct me if 
that's wrong.  Naturally, 95% of what happened last night is along 
the edges, opposite the black support beams.

Thanks a lot,
-Derek L
