A friend wants to buy a hood for a 1956 Cadillac. He is located in Atlanta GA. Not Otto, nor Stan.
I think there's one at the junkyard on Hwy 27 just Calloway Gardens. I can't remember, though. I'll look through my pictures. Winchell got the front end and fender.
I just looked at all my photos of that wreck and the hood is nowhere around. I think it had already been gotten.

Thanks for looking. The friend is Pete Kickovich. He has a lot of '56 parts also, just no hood.
I know Pete. How'd you meet him? I sold him some parts some years back.
I contacted our (Pete's and mine) mutual friend in Michigan about a hood but Pete's probably already called him. Tht's be chuck Dykstra. He's the one who got me my engine.
No hood from Chuck.
Pete and I drove out to Bob Winchell's place today and bought that hood from Mike Dougherty's '56. (Remember that one I posted photos of that rolled down a driveway/street/ravine two months before my engine blew?)
Anyway, I think Bob gave him a deal on it because I was there. $100 for hood probably worth $300-$500.

Good. BTW I met Pete through another mutual friend, Jeffery Hoole. He is the main mechanic restoring airplanes for the Delta museum.
