Hood hinge panel
« on: January 10, 2011 - 09:12:20 PM »
Not sure what to call it, but as is typical on a lot of Cudas, the inner fender, where the front hood hinge bolt bolts to the inner fender, was rusted away on my car.  The previous owner did a cut and patch job of the area but it is a real hack job.  It seems that I've seen some vendors that sell a replacement panel that can be welded in but I'm having a problem finding it.  Anybody know where I can purchase one of these replacement panels?

Thanks
Brad
