Sherman Hood for 1967 Chevelle SS 396

This is a new reproduction hood panel assembly for the 1967 Chevelle SS 396, manufactured by Sherman to the stamping dimensions of the factory hood it replaces. What it is for A hood like this covers rust, dents, or a panel that has been welded on one too many times, letting a 1967 Chevelle SS 396 project move forward without searching for an increasingly rare original. Sherman stampings are also used by OEM manufacturers in production, so the shape is meant to track factory body lines rather than an approximate aftermarket panel. What to check before buying Plan on priming and painting the new steel before it goes on the car, and dry-fit the hood against your fenders and cowl before committing to paint, since panel gaps on a car this old vary from one example to the next. Compare this panel's contours and emblem locations against your original hood before ordering, since trim placement can shift slightly between reproduction runs. Was this stamped by GM? No, Sherman produces it as a new reproduction panel, shaped to match the 1967 Chevelle SS 396 hood it replaces. Does it arrive ready to bolt on and drive? No, treat it as bare steel that still needs priming, paint, and a careful dry-fit first.
