Seems like it was right at $400 with the light springs plus shipping
from the Chicago area.

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
