RE: [DMCForum] DeLorean Hood Needed

["Videobob Moseley" <videobob@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The chances of finding a lined hood is rare without spending around $2000 or 
more.
With shipping, you could spend a lot more.
When I had this problem I ended up getting a flat hood from Houston.
The hood was right at $1000 and I had it NEXT DAY since I am in Texas.
The came is a cool shipping box and was A-OK.
True, I do miss my lined hood and I hope to find another someday but for now 
the DMCH
hood will suffice.

How bad is the damge?
There are skilled metal workers out there who can fix these things.
