A vehicle hood assembly includes a hood support having a top section joined to left and right side sections and to a front section. An outer panel assembly includes a finished top panel mounted on the top section, a finished front panel assembly mounte d on the front section, a finished left side panel mounted on the left section, and a finished right side panel mounted on the right section. Each panel and its respective section form and enclose an air space therebetween. Thus, the inner support and the air space is interposed between the finished panels and the heat from the engine. As the hood is raised, the low er portions of the side panels engage a wear strip and are deflected laterally outwardly an d away from each other. As the hood is lowered, the lower portions of the side panels mo ve past the wear strip, and they move laterally inwardly and towards each other.
