78 Hood Fix

[WinnipegStPaul9]

I took the CC hood to my painter yesterday to let him see what he was getting into. His first words were "the bolts thru the hood hinge looks like crap ( he doesn't say shix)" I told him the dilemma of matching fiberglass to the metal hinge and he said "no problem today, they make a wonderful product that adheres metal to glass". He laughed and said, " I doubt they had the product in 1978". Soooooo we'll see. He's pretty busy between now and the middle of August so he won't do much with my stuff. I still need to get the tunnel stripped and to him.

My brother has a 1978 Liquifire with the bolts thru the hood problem.
Why was the hinge mounted different in 78.Looks like a peice of fiberglass was put over the hinge
instead of rivets and mounting bracket?
If you don't mind my asking,what is the product?

It may be similar to the steel tunnel on the '79 Trailfire....$$$$$....?

When you Get the Hood Back from the painter please post pictures! I also have a 78 CC and would like to restore it. Thank you.

I have two other 78 hoods that I'll have him fix if the first one does alright. They will then be for sale.
