72 Pontiac Ventura Street/Race

[Pontolet 72]

I am currently working on a 1972 Pontiac Ventura and I need a hood, metal which I can't find, or fiberglass, I'm using it as a street driver/ bracket car.It has a BBC 468, 8.1 to 9.1 somewhere 781 heads extreme energy Comp Cam HFT cam, Holley Street Dominator intake, it was a street race car from the late 70's it has a Dana 60, 6 lug 410 posi, multi leaf, slapper bars, frame tied, gutted interior and gutted under hood, aluminum American racing wheels all around, My closest and best friend was building it and had a stroke and can't finish it so his daughter gave it to me and I want to finish it and if he comes out of it after or during me finishing it I'll be more than thrilled to finish it and give it back at no cost for sure.

I'm from your area.  Welcome to the site.  72 would be a tough hood to find for sure.  Let's see what we can find.

You know, a 72 Ventura, GTO, Lemans, Nova will all fit.
