1994 Hood

[Irish Reiver]

Hi, I'm new to the forum and also new to the Orange County area if California. Does anyone know of a junk yard locally where I might find a replacement hood for a 1994 Cruiser? Alternatively can anyone recommend a cheap body shop who can fix a few dents and rpaint the hood. The local big guys here are looking for $700 which is hard to justify.

I was just at Pick Your part in San Bernardino and they have 2 80's there. There is a silver 91 there that I thiiiink still has the hood. I cant remember. Its in row 19 in the truck section.

The Pick Your Part in Sun Valley also has an 80 in their lot, but I haven't been.

Thanks Tanner. I have decided to have a go at repairing and repainting the hood the myself. I have most of the kit but lacking on practice.
The burning question I have is whether the same thing (clear coat peeling) will happen again or is this something that can be avoided with reasonable future paint care (waxing etc).
