isnt this going to happen for the car you need to replace the engine on? If you are going through all the work of replaceing the engine you might as well take the old hood off and put a better shaped junkyard hood on...mainly due to resale value and your time involved. this saves you time and hassel with a poorly done patch job (not that you would do a bad job, but they always seem to come back in one form or another). Also, I saw the paint on your 76 in the picures you posted...might as well get the whole car painted when the engine transplant is finished. You will have a slick ride with a relyable engine at this point. break this thing down into a long term numbers game. pay a little on the front end and save yourself time and money on the tail end.
Maybe I'll see you in Damascus.
