I'm not bothered about the old one being ripped up, even though it's immaculate. I just don't like the everflex. I want a mohair as it's appearance is far better. I know each car is slightly different, but I don't get it that they need the car. Over the years I have a had hoods made by an old friend of my fathers without the need to have the cars present. Unfortunately though they are both now long gone.
