Hood Damage
I have a 1990 that I need to replace the hood because of damage.
I've heard that on 1990-1996 because of the redesigned radiator that there is a cut out on the lower front left. Since I don't have old hood can someone post bit map of what this cutout is? I'm looking at salvaged hoods and want to get correct hood

Looking for hood & front end stuff
I thought I scored on a 1990 hood & facia, but unfortunately the guy (even after questions) had an 84.
So, I live in the San Francisco bay area and looking for private parties that are parting out a Corvette or have front end parts.
I'm looking at a radius of 100-200mi.
I'm also looking for CVette salvage yards.
I'm keeping tabs on San Jose CVette salvage yards.

Thanks for the pics

It looks like the 90 and above has hood modification(s) to accomidate new radiator design. Which means I really need a 90-96 hood or else it will look like a hood swap.
