Lon,
Your cars looks sweet. Very detailed and clean. My hood is fiberglass.
It was purchased from Unlimited Products. I am not a supporter of their
workmanship. The hood shipped 3 weeks late(which sometimes happens). I had
to put jellcoat and plenty of elbowgrease to try and straighten it out. I am
considering going over the hood again this winter.
