Hood Front Edge Repair Panel - 53-56 F100 F250

The front edge of the hood. The line everybody sees first. Water sits in the front hood edge and works outward from the seam. By the time the paint bubbles the inner and outer skin have usually let go of each other along the whole leading edge. This AMD panel replaces just that section. Heavy gauge steel with the precise shapes; curves and cutouts stamped in; so the crown of the hood and the gap to the grille come back correct. It arrives EDP coated against oxidation so it can sit on the bench while you cut the old edge out and do the fitting properly. Replacing an edge is cheaper and truer than chasing filler across the front of a hood every three years.

  • Replaces the edge; not the hood - section in the rotted leading edge instead of hunting a straight used hood.
  • Stamped curves and cutouts - the crown and the cutouts are formed in; you are not shaping them by hand.
  • Heavy gauge steel - strength where the hood takes its knocks and its latch load.
  • EDP coated - it holds through cutting; fitting and welding without surface rust.
  • A true gap - a correct edge is what makes the hood to grille gap even down the whole front.
