[V8] Looking for a hood

[Ed Kellock]

Well, I'm not really too worried about an exact match to tell you the
truth.  In fact, the guy at Maaco said he wouldn't be able to get it
to match exactly because they usually blend into the top of the
fenders.  I just don't want to spend a whole lot of money on it.  A
slight color mismatch in that location won't be quite as noticeable as
a side panel to door for instance.

I'm going to get other estmates as well.  Just thought I'd troll for a
spare hood.

Thanks,
Ed
