Car manufacturers learned early on that the hood was more than a lid for the engine compartment; it soon became a canvas for car stylists to express themselves, and some of their finest work appeared on the classic and muscle cars of the 50s, 60s and 70s. But by now the hood on your classic has endured decades of exposure and is probably rusted, dinged and dented. Since the hood has an immense impact on the outward look of your prized possession, you should maintain your hood components in proper condition.
A broken hood latch can make your hood fly open unexpectedly and bring damage to the cowl panel or block the view of the road, creating an unsafe situation on the road. If it’s old and sticky, this may result in a stuck hood that you won’t be able to open. So, you should replace your worn out or failed latch as soon as possible. Don't waste a lot of time and money trying to bring your original hood back to life with used parts that don’t just fit and appear right or paying the high dealer price, factory reproduction components from Goodmark will help put your hood in top shape.

Goodmark® was founded in 1991 by car enthusiasts, restorers and collectors just like you. They recognized that there was a need for quality restoration parts, especially sheet metal parts, if the restoration of their beloved American classics was to continue. Since that time, Goodmark has created a complete line of sheet metal, trim parts, and accessories for popular cars like the Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang, and for previously difficult to restore cars like the Dodge Challenger and Plymouth Barracuda. Goodmark uses CAD/CAM (computer aided design and computer aided manufacturing) software and modern tooling and manufacturing techniques to create parts that are identical to factory original for perfect fit and finish. Quality parts tooled and manufactured by Goodmark are enabling many more American classic and muscle cars to return to the road, looking just as fine as the day they rolled off the assembly line.
