Thank you all for your input about salvage yards. We finally ended up at Silver Star Recycling in Rancho Cordova. There, we got a hood ($125) and a right fender ($75) and both hood hinges ($25) from a Euro 123 coupe. In exactly the same color as our car! Craig

The Addy I have for the Pick Your Part in Hayward is 92 N. Clowitter. That doesn't look quite right on the map I just pulled up though. Seems to me it's on Winton near Cabot which would be west on Winton from Clowitter. I've usually gotten there by taking Clowitter N. from 92 and turning left on
