Need hood for 90 firebird, plain flat or?

The hood I got from Hawks thirdgen for Maxs car is no good. He's giving me a refund, no problem. But I need to find a decent hood. I prefer a flat one, not formula, not transam, although I guess if the only one availalbe was one of those in good condition for a good price, OK.

The work on the car is held up due to this so if anyone knows of one please let me know

Just out of curiosity, what was wrong with the one from Hawk's?

Yeah, there is a place out by the airport that has a formula hood for 400 and a Transam hood for 250. Im going to look this pm. The flat hood seems to be hard to find

Will let you know

The one from Hawks according to the body shop guy, has too many dips and deformations in it. You can feel them if you run your hand over the hood. A little dent is no problem but he says there are just too many of these dips to use the hood.

guy from Oklahoma, Im going to try and find one here first, I don't really want to buy another one that I cant touch and look at if possible. You cant see what my body shop guy is talking about in a photo really. Your hood is probably fine and I appreciate the response though.

Well I got on at a junkyard out by the airport. It is a trans am hood, which didni't really want although Max did. But it was a good deal $150 and available.
