Took the 'vert out for a spin, and on a straight empty stretch outside of town I opened her up. At about 90MPH the hood flew up and bent over backwards. Didn't hit the windshield and no one was hurt, thank God. Bent both hinges and I'm certain the hood is only a worthless piece of sheet metal now. Here's the pics from the side of the road:
Both hinges are bent as well. So it looks like I need to find two hood hinges and a new convertible hood. Anyone have something like that sitting in the corner of the garage? I will also need to pay shipping to 89445. Dang the luck! Please let me know if you have any ideas.
