Did you try this place. I know there's a lot of stuff here. I didn't check on hoods though

If nothing there,
I believe Eric has a bunch of links on his site
Indeedy I do...it's all new and updated information also:

You'd have to check the mfr. websites for current pricing. BTW, I'm running a U.S. Body Source hood and it has a finished underside. Might be the only one left out there that does.
I cant believe thats all the hoods they make for our birds.Eric what one do you have

The hood for my 86 is from US Body Source also. It has a finished underside and uses hinges. Mine is pinned at the front. You'd have to either use hood lifters or a prop rod with it.... I prefer a prop rod.
It looks like they're still available: http://www.usbody.com/
It's a nice hood... *EDIT* It's $699. Probably the one you were looking at... Nevermind. I'll leave this up for any thread searchers though.

My hood is from, http://www.usbody.com/ as well. They are pretty solid, since I have a very small crack created by ME trying to make it work with the front lock near the nose, my fault. Crack hasn't grown in 4 plus years here in SW Ohio since. That's allot of hot n cold weather as well, since we have ranged from the rare low 100's in the summer, down to minus mid 20's in mid Winter.
Show off ;)
or you can build your own.... ;)
