Who has fiberglass hoods on their cars?

That's more like how you do a mold to make a hood.

 

yep, you would want to mold the mold again to get a smooth hood.

 

Speaking of making a mold, I think somebody needs to get ahead of the game and make a mold for qtr trim panels and kick panels. I think there will be a market soon.

Back on topic. I did a search about the Crites hood here and did find a couple of posts mentioning them....has anyone ever got one? Crites stuff is pretty good in my book. I'd like to see one.

Here's a couple pics of my Crites hoods

64 Falcon 427 hood...dirty around the edges from handling



66 Fairlane 427 hood still in gelcoat

 

thanks for the article on making poly hoods, i may use that technique to build a new motor box for my boat! love this site!

 

fiberglass hood

they are crap....they suck.... dont do it. if you search long enough you can find a steely hood and be alot happier for near the same money.

 

But im interested in a cowl hood, and they don't make one in steel. I wish they did tho.

 

Hmmm..... Summer project?

 

i'm going to do it when i get a good hood, the one i have right now is a POS.
I'm also going to ask my neighbor if i can borrow his cobra jet hood scoop to make a mold outta it

 

maverickmans cowl hood carbon fiber fit great

 

Yeah, but he won't ship them.

 

lets have a road trip !!!!!!

 

Since you're in Louisville, head up to Columbus a take a look at Crite's hoods if he has any in stock.

 

I seen one it was a decent hood IMO but the best with out a doubt is Maverickmans stuff

 

Do you remember if thier hoods are molded without the scoops? I saw on on the strip that had a fiberglass hood that had the scoops molded in but the frt was solid...I guess you can cut them out but they just wouldn't right. Not sure who makes that one.

 

the one I saw had grabber scoopes installed......it was a white 71 and that was atleast 7 years ago
