I recently purchased a '66 coupe. I've discovered a problem that I did not notice before I purchased the car. On the underside of the hood where the hinge attaches on the drivers side there is a crack in the fiberglas. The crack is severe enough that it separates when I rock the hood back to release the catch on the prop. It seems like somebody has forced the hood too far open at some point and caused this crack. I wouldn't call it a delamination from the looks of it, definatley a crack. The problem is not visible from the top side of the hood but I'm concerned that I may end up with a much more severe problem if I let this condition exist much longer. Does anyone have any experience with this kind of problem and how did you or your shop repair it?
