here
Tim,
Have you checked into Glasstek
hoods? I've had mine on my 67 for over two years now and haven't had any
problems at all with it. It didn't take my bodyman very much time at all
to prep and paint it. Fit isn't as good as a stock hood but it's better
than many I have seen. A lot of folks on the Team Chevelle web site use
them and, in comparison, are the best they've seen. Glasstek doesn't
have a web site but their phone number is 630-978-9897 and they're based out
of the Chicago area. They are the only company that made the 4" rise
hood I needed but they will custom make any size scoop you desire.
Check any of the links in my signature line or go straight to http://www.dalesplace.com/htm/chevelle/the_body.htm for
a before and after comparison.
John,
Everybody has good points. I asked a few months ago
about buying a fiberglass hood, which I am still going to do. But everybody
has had lots and lots of problems with thier products. Nobody had anything
good to say about thier products, so Im not going to buy anything from them.
One guy had to put about 40 hours worth of work to get the hood to fit, but
its still not right. They said that it would be ok for racing applications,
where the body and paint dont need to be perfect, because its made to race,
not show....Just letting you know what all these guys told me
