Hey guys, i just bought two 72 olds cutlass (442) convertible kits. i need two resin stock cutlass hoods, and not these "ram air" ones. i am building replicas of the car that Woody Harrelson drove in the movie "kingpin" his car was a 72 cutlass, and does not have this hood. one of the other guys on here told me to post this here, because he had bought one a while back from someone, and it was a very nice piece. any help you can give me, i thank you in advance. you can post it here, or message on here, or use my email: bmccallum666@gmail.com thanks for your help! cheers Bryan M
