Angry Trans Am help....

After we put the hood back on my car today, and things looking good to have the repainting process done by the weekend, it seems I am gonna be better off getting a new hood. The driverside corner has pretty much broke off the hood.
I would have pics but its too disgusting. Wheres a good place to get a OEM 97 WS6 hood and not have a steep price on it? I want to see if I will be better off replacing the hood or trying to fix all the problems this one has.

Why not just have it fixed? A good shop should be able to do it no problem

Me and dad have done all the work ourselves thus far and I think it would make him feel bad If I told him to stop and take it somewhere else. This is probally the 10th time somethings went wrong with this hood, and the 5th in the last month we have been re painting the car.

If it keeps it up its gonna find a new home.

It's not the car's fault, it's the bodyman.

Rex at ASCD has some options for you. Big Block hood for starters. If not, I think he makes a replica of the WS6 hood.
