The base hood is the plain, non-scoop hood most 1965-1966 Mustangs left the factory with. Finding a straight original today is hard, and most have rust along the leading edge where water sits under the front lip. A new reproduction gets you a clean panel to start from.
About Golden Star
Golden Star Classic Auto Parts is a family-owned company in Texas that has made reproduction sheet metal for classic cars for years. Their parts come from refined dies and molds, so fit is closer to factory than many low-cost imports.
Before you paint
- Test fit the hood on the car and adjust hinges and bumpers before any paint goes on.
- Check the gap at the cowl and the fenders, and the alignment of the latch.
- Strip the shipping coating and prime with epoxy before body work.
Who it is for
Coupe, fastback and convertible owners doing a restoration, collision repair or a driver-quality refresh who want the original look rather than a scoop or fiberglass hood.
