I think I FINALLY found a split window (or close enough) hood for my 51. Does this look like a split hood to you?

| Looks like one to me. 3 tab emblem, reinforcement plate, 3 bolt hinges and small cross bracing and gusseting. |

Yep looks split to me, same as the one I have that came off an early 51 standard model (only difference is the trim holes).

| Nice Kevin, It looks like whoever did the packing for shipping did a great job. Patience paid off. |

Nice one.
Need to find one myself, but as I'm currently in Australia it'll most likely mean posting one from overseas (VWs weren't sold here until '53).
Was yours posted? If so, was it much of a problem/cost? |

It was posted here for a few minutes... ;)
The guy did a GREAT job of packaging it. I had him ship it via Greyhound for like $40. |

I found one 2 weeks ago, I do not have pictures from it now !
The front hood is in a bad to remove the paint and the bondo !
It will be for sale in a few weeks , price depends on how long the body worker need to fix it without bondo ! :wink:

| Anyone see the one at the Classic's? Only glanced at it quickly but I think it was legit and priced fair at $400.00 |

Yeah i did, it was rusty but it could have been cleaned up. I offered him alot less and he said no ( he was super cool about it ) so i left it like that |

| I lucked out years ago and found one among a huge stack of front hoods. I found it at the Orangeburg Vintage Meet. I was putting on that show in 1994 and had a little time to zip through the swap meet but not until the late morning after it was picked through. No one noticed that it was a Split hood somehow and I picked it up for $25! Still have it. I didnt even own a Split at that time, but thought I may someday. |

| Early zwitters have also a 3-tab hood. |
