Quick update.  Found a hood on craigslist.  Wrong color, but its straight and rust free.  installed with the the help of my brother and some of his buddies.  Looks much better, but we did notice the nose is pushed in a lot more than I thought.  The plastic around the headlights on the passenger side is also busted.  so that's gotta go on the list as well.

Picked up a new Distributor cap and rotor, plug wires, some Bosch Platinum plugs, and a pair of Fram "Airhog" filters as well....  So I should be able to get it all tuned up this weekend.
