Quick question, would you find a used clamshell or repair this one? Just curios which option would be the less expensive and would take less work.

There is no fender....the hood and fenders are all one piece, so that's at least a 400-600 repair just for a new hood, plus paint, etc.

If it was my vette and I was responsible for the repair, I would fix the hood for $40 worth of materials. But I know how to do fiberglass, and trust myself.

Just depends. The correct way to fix it would be to replace the damaged part. Very rarely, will a body will repair a removable fiberglass panel. Just because it is time consuming, and risky. Where a replacement hood is quick, and guaranteed to be right.

Cell phones and particularly texting cell phones are causing more accidents than drunk drivers. When the insurance companies (that actually run our govornment) have had enough - I'm sure tough cell phone laws will get passed.
