    Hood ornament

    Fuck my life.

    I broke the hood ornament on my 78 LTD It looks like pot metal to me...dont know if it could be welded or not.

    I did have an Idea kinda... grind both surfaces flat, than drill a teeny tiny hole on both pieces, and thread in a teeny tiny stud, screw on with a bit of jb weld and it'd be fixed. But I dont think its possible.

    Any suggestions besides this asshole http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FORD-...#ht_2583wt_723 ?

    It broke right where the wreath begins...in the thin spot.


    While looking for other parts, Ive been to all the junkyards in a 150 mile radius of durham and non of them have a late 70s LTD. let alone with a hood ornament.

    If someone has one...Ill GLADLY pay for it and shipping. Just not an outrageous price like that guy ^

    If someone knows where I can order one online...that would make me really happy.

          People suck at naming stuff on ebay. "ford hood" or "ford emblem" or whatever and sifting through all the results will allow you to not miss anything. For instance, I run into those fairly often on ebay looking for ornaments for my car despite it being almost a decade away from correct for my car.

            looks exactly like the one in the ebay link... and its too dark to get pics. and its in the field where I swapped the battery to the truck to get the truck up to the house to work on it.

            Thanks. Kinda the same way on craigslist. found a couple ltds on there that were in shitty condition with the ornaments still. Sent about 19 emails out offering $50 for it plus shipping.

            Ill keep digging deeper...hopefully I find something.

                I've got one of those that came on my '81 for some reason. Not in very nice condition, but it's a nifty change from the '81-'87 ornament, which I rather dislike.
