Thank you for asking about the products your making.
Can you make a front repair piece for 1965-1973 hoods.
For a recent project I passed on 6 different hoods because of obvious damage and rust issues and selected this one that looked to be a good start - only to find this....

A repair piece for the hoods front 8 to 9 inches (to just below the hood badge) with a stepped 1/2" joint to hold the curve might be a product to repair the dismal hoods that I'm finding out here.
I'm hoping my recent experience is not the general state of supply or indicative of the dwindling reserve of pristine long hoods. The midwest has few to select from and the ones out there are poor at best.
Thanks.
