Fiberglass Hoods

[oldtimer]

Not exactly sure of the rate. I know that old worn struts that will not hold up a medal hood, work great. Or you can by Fiberglass hood struts.

Holly Hartline

Holly is absolutey correct on the used worn strut comment. That's what I use and they work perfectly. Why spend more money on the special fibreglass style struts.

Got someone to bring it back for to Birmingham. Thanks! Anyone got a set of worn out struts?

It's hard to tell from the pic but is the rear molding trim (back of hood , in front of windshield) molded into the new hood or will it accept the original trim?

Thinking of one for a white car and if it's molded in, it may be tough to pull of the painting.

You should be able to just paint the whole thing white and rattle can the trim the correct satin black.

Beleive it or not, I have seen several people use a Chevy starter Bendix

I bought a hood last year and the quality is excellent. I had my car recently painted and the owner of the shop said it was one of the best fiberglass pieces he had seen. Cal recommends that you pin the hood if you go over 140 mph.

On this hood spring, what about just cutting off part of the bottom coil and installing it like normal?

I can tell my hood is taking a beating from the stock coil.

I was thinking the same thing!

Any left? I have to get with Len F. or Paul H. but I'm sure one of them would bring it back to Vegas for me.

I installed the hood I got from Cal yesterday. Fits great and the body lines are the best I've ever seen on a fiberglass hood. you would never know its glass once its installed. Steve
