Just wondering whether it is worth trying to straighten a very bent grill and hood for my H versus finding an old but straight set. Anyone have advice? The grill was basically flattened in on one side. I have it back to about 90% shape but it is sprung and I just don't know if it can be fixed. The dual fuel hood was nearly flat. I will have difficulty getting the proper radius back into the full length of the hood. Not afraid to try or have a body shop do it but it may be cost prohibitive.

Jaybird, I haven't seen a wrecker yet that didn't have a hood and grill for an H. I have 4 grills and 4 hoods for my two H's. I haven't spent more than $20 for the grills and one is mint the others are good, bought a great hood that had a bullet hole in it for $5, didn't take much to fix the bullet hole. If a body shop spent two hours on your hood at shop rate , you can buy a good used for the same price. The grills do come apart and the top section is separate from the side panels of the grill, some work but if you find good side panelled grill you can make a good one out of the two, or better yet find a good replacement. I don't know about you but to me a good grill wouldn't be out of line in the $50-70 range, just bolt on...a hood..about the same. Good luck,it only takes a few minutes to swap a hood and grill on an H....Mike in Exeter Ontario

If you have the time I would try to fix it, but then afer a few days of hammering, I would go the local salvage yard and get a good used nose and hood. Been there, done that, so I say go buy one that is in better shape.

Hard to say without seeing the grill but if the hood was as flat as you say, it is junk. Given enought time and money you may be able to get it back but the $$$ will be way too much compared to a good used one. I have an excellent hood and grill that I will part with if you're interested. Email if you want

I would take it to a good body shop and ask for their opinion. Those guys can do wonders with
sheet metal. If price is too steep I'd walk away. May be able to find one on ebay or at your local scrapyard. Hal
