I’m thinking about a 6070 that has a busted up nose piece and damaged side panels. If I can find them what am I looking at having to pay from them?

Use to get fiberglass repair kits from auto parts store to fix snowmobile hoods. It isn't hard to do. Don't know if kits are still available. It's been about 35 years.

The universal answer to all questions is yes, how much do you want to spend?

Find a boat repair shop, which shouldn't be hard to do considering where you live.

I've got a JCB compact wheel loader with a broken plastic hood maybe 3' wide. 2' deep and high. Figured they would want some ridiculous price for it, like $800 or something. Parts guy looked it up, $5,700! I told him I wasn't wanting the whole cab, just the hood. Nope that's just the hood. Guess it will continue to be broken.

Talk to a local body shop. A guy I know fixed the grille shell on my 6080 as good as new.

It is very simple doing fiberglass work ,used to do truck hoods and inner structure for Ferco in Moberly Mo,, rough it up, use the resin and hardner mix, cut strips of fiberglass and do a few layers, let it set do a few more even can put steel in it for strength, a little heat helps it setup faster
