71-73 Good Condition Flat hood

I'm selling the extra hood I had for my car, I have no room to keep it.

I'm asking $150 OBO see add below.

I see rust?

There is just that small Rot hole, the hood was media blasted 12 years ago and paint.

I never repaired the hole, but the hood is rust free.

I see significant rust in the underside structure of the front of the hood. Common area for it to occur.

The first indicator is the asterisk shaped hole on the top left of the photo of the underside of the hood.

Ok, like I said!!

It had some rust when I bought the car 12 + years ago, I had the hood Media Blasted, and I epoxy Primed the whole hood, then painted it.

I never repaied the old rot holes, but there is no rust on it.

The problem with rust like this is that it starts between and behind the panels and structural members. Media blasting and primer does not get to the place where the rust started and still is.

OK, I retiled the heading.

Its a very good condition hood, yes it had some rot years ago, but I didn't spend the time to cut and patch, but is has no signs of the rust coming back as it stands, I guess its one of the things you have to see in person.

as for the price which is not firm its OBO its a great hood.

I'm sure that hood is going to last for a long time before it rusts to death.

I was holding on to it just incase something happened to mine I has a replacement, but now its just taking up space.

and it is very solid compared to others out there.

the only issue is, No one wants a flat hood

about 8 months ago I had a Sprint owner in Mass contact me about it through CL, and we made plans to pick it up that weekend, but he called me 2 days later and decided to go with a Ram air hood

Well I'm looking for a flat hood for our '71, wife wants to keep the car the way we got it. only problem is distance.

All,

That hood would need to completely dipped acid based strip tank to remove the internal rust. Unfortunately, Ford never used rust inhibitors to protect against corrosion. I believe I used Carolina Chem-Strip for my hood, fenders and doors. Once it was stripped, they can dip into a rust inhibitor.

A good Body man can fix that place too.

That may be the case. every hood I find is 500 mi. away and ain't nobody willing to ship. I like road trips.

I did look in to shipping a while ago, it was $$$ because of the truck fright.

True dat but it's $$$ to pick up as well so truck freight ain't so bad some times.

yup, I need a flat hood but shipping from R.I would be more than hood.

from RI to TN would be almost $300 just shipping.

its cheaper to find one local to you, unless your desperate.

can you ship through Grayhound or Peterpan bus lines?
