Re: [Chevelle-List] Fiberglass Parts from Unlimited Products

[Rob Thorburn]

I purchased a whole front clip from them, years ago,  It is light weight racing stuff.  The problem: you can't block sand it, to prep it for paint, it flexes like crazy.  If you park fiberglass in the sun, it does one thing, when it cools it does another.  The hood I got from Unlimited products, required hood pins 'cause there is no ribbing on the underside.  At about eighty miles per, the whole hood would bow in the middle from the air bunching up behind the radiator.  Of course even at a idle it would shake and jiggle, it just isn't steel!  Even when you prep and paint a peice like this, you can somehow "see" that it is fiberglass, it think 'cause you can't block sand it like a steel peice.  Don't give up your steel hood, after a while you will want it back.   Rob '67 Chevelle '67 El Camino ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2002 8:03 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] Fiberglass Parts from Unlimited Products I saw the AD in a magazine awhile ago. They are always in magazines. It is the only place i found that carries 66 fiberglass cowl induction hoods. The place is about 40 minutes or less from me......so ill probably just drive down and get one.....but i have never ordered anything, or heard anything about them...... -Tim 1966 Malibu 454
