[DMCForum] Re: DeLorean Hood Needed

["Joe OBrien" <joeyoseppijoe@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Derek,

I have an 83 that the PO replaced the flat 83 hood with a late 81
lined no flap hood. I'm into originality, so I'm looking to get a flat
hood. I'm willing to trade for a flat hood. If you buy a flat hood
from Houston, I'll trade you the lined hood for it.

Just let me know if you are interested.

Later,

Joe OBrien
