I can say this: after seeing Jerry's wizardry with other metal work, this hood ought to be a work of art as well lol

is the hood rust free?
how much for the car?


It is rust free.. Looking for 800ish. Still a great car but can't do what I want with it.

 Well yes and no, it appears the correct small size but appears to be missing what ever would attatch it to the wheel. I dont have anything at the moment so not sure what exactly it would look like, it might possibly have a spring in there also for the horn

Dan, we found you a horn button with all the locking tabs..... I will have it in my hand for you in about 10 days.
Once I have it, we can set up a day to get together..

Jerry, you can get the hood whenever you need to. If you dont have the horn button then you can just drop it in the mail as I am in no rush for it

Speaking of the horn button, if someone has one that has all of the plastic tabs, I'd be happy to make a mold for replacements.

Crazy88, if you're serious, I'll send you mine. One tab has been broken off, but I superglued it back on....

if you can make those?.... what else could you replicate? what kind of plastic are we talkin about?

or is just the mold your making?

I can make all kinds of small parts like these. I don't have the equipment necessary for large injection molding runs, but small parts runs on smaller pieces like these are practical.  On parts like these, which will take some amount of stress and abuse, I would probably use an angel hair reinforced epoxy resin.  The most difficult part of course, is the mold making process.

I had also seriously considered stepping up with a one piece HID headlight for '87-88 Thunderbirds and Cougars, but in order to accomplish that size of a project, I would probably need the header panels, with at least the headlight buckets intact, from both a Thunderbird and a Cougar and of course some degree of confidence that such a product would find a welcome market.
