69 Shaker Hood

[finenine]

Just checking to see what might be out there in the way of original 69 Mustang factory shaker hood. Important to know location and price and condition. I am in Indiana so distance is definitely a factor. Might just cut a good hood if nothing close, Thanks

my hood has scoop attached - i believe the scoop was an option is yours a coupe or fastback/mach1? is that a picture of it?

if it's a coupe I would be willing to sell my other one - it has some rust on the underside but nothing naval jelly cant take care of. If interested hit me back

I would get a nice standard hood, buy a template and cut your own as originals are very pricey and usually full of putty an repairs.

+1 to Bostang. I believe I have one, but its not in the best condition and would need significant repair.

My '70 shaker hood is a good example. It appears somebody welded in a patch at the front using a coat hangar and a car battery, then slapped a huge bondo patch on top.

Do you have to have an original Ford hood? I've seen some Ford tooling re-pops with the shaker pre-cut and they look pretty nice. I've heard they fit OK. And "OK" is often the case with original Ford hoods.

Retooled hoods are fine .Actually the last non-retooled ones ,I used ,worked out very well.
