Years ago I had a 'boo boo' with a 57 300C, but the insurance company took care of everything, including a replacement hood. I've seen/heard some things on the listserver that lead me to believe there are very few 300 hoods from the 57-59 era left. That being said, I may have a potential solution for someone who has a desperate need for a hood for their car, providing they also have access to a really good metal man/body shop. See attached photos of the dented hood and a non-dented nose piece that could potentially be creatively grafted together to make a replacement hood. The biggest problem I have is that I'm in MA, and all this metal is not easy to transport/ship. Let me know if there is any interest.
Thanks,
