if it was me, and clearly it is not, (dang it) I would keep the present hood as is and not modify it at all. You can easily buy a lift off for what it will cost you having your guy modify your existing. That way you keep your nostalgia hood unmolested plus have a spare lift off. And to Eric’s point the lift offs are just way past handy. Except in high wind! Hah! I usually just set mine on the roof if there is no wind. If there is wind I slip it under the car.

The current hood is just getting all the holes fixed and painted flat black. He is local and the price is very good. If I were to buy the fiberglass, I would have to remove the current springs, then this would make the stock hood, not a viable option to reuse unless I put hinges back on or make the metal hood lift off.
 
I’ve been toying with the idea of replacing the hood to a fiberglass one with scoops sometime down the road. I am glad you guys are answering all my questions now :lol:

I made angle brackets to hold the hood hinges with springs down and leave them on. They bolt down with a fender bolt. Just something to consider. Mine are now off as there was a hinge issue also, but could look into it

I was thinking of that as well. Can you post a pic? The hinges weren't in the way of the fiberglass to sit flush.
 
Well on a side note, it was confirmed that a tornado touched down less than a half mile from my house. That explains all of the damage a few blocks away.
