Default Corvette Recycling !!!

Hello all,

After I found out that my baby had been in a wreck a few years back and the hood starting cracking, I think I have found a replacement. Corvette Recycling in Farmington, Utah has a MY OEM hood that came off a used car. Has anyone dealt with them in the past? They seem on the up and up but I am in Cheyenne, Wyoming and it is a six hour trip to get it. I do have a question for you guys. Would you try and fit the new hood in a Chrysler Pacifica, drive the vette replace and leave the hood, or take off hood drive 400 miles and put it on there? I would really like to keep the hood but I am afraid that the hood may not fit in the Pacifica. Took measurements and I would have to fit in the back seat with the nose pointed down.

Thanks FOR you input!

Take off your hood to see how it fits maybe? If me I would keep the original. Rent a van maybe, have any friends with a larger vehicle?
