Lucked up on Ebay!

I got a nice Z28 hood for $50. The owner said it had been bead blasted and primed. It is a local pickup and the town is only 20 minutes from me. I know I need to get some hood blisters, but how would black plexiglass look? Kinda different, but it might look ok. Any ideas?

Those hoods are nice looking, but when you put it on make sure you do it right, other wise those things can be a pain in the ***. Not to mention they are pretty heavy, but i have them both on my 1984 z28 and my 91 so great going on finding it that cheap!

Yeah, they are a pain. I remember a few years ago me and a friend had to put on a front quarter panel, so we took the hood off. MAN that thing was a pain to align back up! I thought never again, but I could'nt pass this up.

It's not too bad with 2 people. Just frustrating.
