I let my dad borrow my car during halloween trunk or treat. Apparently he didnt close the front hood well enough. Any suggestions or estimates on what it might cost to repair? What techniques might be used? I know i already need a front hood as it is warped in multiple places. Havent even had time to inspect the hinges.

I know the feeling. I had one fly up one time while towing. Broke my heart (so to speak). I guess the best way to fix it will be to weld in new cowl corners. I think I have some I will give you if it helps. PM me and I'll cut them out and mail to you, no charge. I have a couple hoods. But I'm in North Carolina. Shipping would be brutal. Ask Bruce if he has a good hood. He is in California.
