so the real question is why did the fiberglass hood go into the dumpster

I had a lift off hood on my '68 for a long time and it was kind of a pain in the ass, and this car is an air grabber car.

Yup you are right about that. I too used to have a lift off hood for quite a few year's and it got really old. On, off, on, off. Pain in the ass. :yesnod:
Hope I don't get ripped for this. :D

Not from me you won't. I had one and if I did it again it would be hinged for sure. :yesnod:

It's been quite a while since I've posted-sorry guys. Here's a brief update- I finished all the metal work, and had the car blasted on a rotisserie. It is at the paint shop now; the underside, passenger compartment and trunk compartment are painted. The car was assembled, blocked many times, and is now disassembled and ready to be painted. I'm hoping to have it back in a few weeks. Here's a few pics in the mean time...601846_277820869029732_1463987675_n.jpgIMG_20130629_075749_051.jpgIMG_20130629_075749_051.jpgIMG_20130722_094725_085.jpg
