Unfortunately broke my drill bit on the second rivet. Not being careful...SNAP! I'll get back to it and post more pics soon as I replace that bit.

Took a look at the situation today on both a steel hood, and a fiberglass. The steel will be easy-peasy...just drill out the old rivet, pop on a new one. And luckily most of the washers are in much better shape than I remembered: All except for the bottom washers on the side panels, some of...

Agreed! My 99 has a fiberglass hood, and it's ok. Weighs about the same as the steel hood. Unfortunately, somebody busted off the corner hold-down...and tried to fix it with Bondo! So have some glass repair to look forward to... 😏 Last I checked a N.O.S. fiberglass is about $800! So I'm...

Anybody know the dimensions for this little gem? All the black coating has cracked and blow off the insulation blanket, which I would like to take off and recoat. And there is rust-through beginning to show on the split steel hood, which will need repair. I have the part number for the rivet...
