Re: Mike's 60 Suburban build

I bartered for a second hood thinking it was in better shape than the one I had. It turned out to be similarly rusted and dented. Each took 5-6 metal sections to be replaced. I decided to use it as my auto body practice hood and try each step out on it first. It's come to the point that I'll just put the best one on my burb.

On an interesting note, I did find that the two hoods are slightly different. One is a 60 and the other a 61. It might be due to the year or a different manufacturing plant. The angle of the slope down to the middle flat section is steep on one and more rounded on the other.
