Default need a favor?

ok here is my situation!

i have some one who is willing to paint my hood for free and he does really good work but the problem is that he needs the hood for a few days so he can sand it down and do it right! so that leaves me w/ out a hood and no other car to drive! and i work a good 30 miles away and dont want to run around w/ no hood!

so my question is does anyone in the boca delray are have a spare hood layin around that i could borrow for a few day and return it once i get my hood back! cause that would just be awsome! or if you have any other ideas of what to do w/ out a hood for a few days lol! thanks for all the help in advance !

o and its for a 99 camaro! i could careless about the color or condition! as long as it bolts up and latches closed!

once again thank you!
