RE: 4000 hoods

Hi Bob,

>Anyone know if the hood of an '83 UrQ is the same of same vintage 4000?
>Or even same vintage coupe??
>(You know I HAD to ask, right Rod??!)

I think they are. After my 83 gurrr-q was stripped at the plastic media 
blasting shop, the body shop found a some hail damage on a few body panels. 
The hood was the worst. In my case it was cheaper to go to the local 
automotive parts recycler, and nab a perfect hood from an 83 coupe. I 
believe the hoods from any of the 81-87 4000/coupe/ur-q are interchangeable. 
Anyone know otherwise?
