Fiberglass Hoods

Shipping to NJ zip 07419 would be terrible right?

It would cost quite a bit to ship. I would prefer to give it to someone at BG going that direction.

Thanks Bill!! You were the transport company I was thinking of. Bring down a Stage2 engine and bring back a hood

 

[ZEROLAG]

They look much better than a stock hood on the underside. Has the factory bracing and all. It's well worth the money and wait.

If I didn't just get one from VFN!

I bought a POS from Postons. I prefered eating the shipping $$ from them and back to get rid of it so I could buy Cal's after I saw it with my own eyes.

Yup, these are the best I've ever seen. I've had to convince several people that it is actually fibreglass. My bodyman who I had paint mine, said it was a great piece. The best fibreglass replacement that he had seen too.

I am interested in one of these hoods...but I am not going to BG.

Anyone in the PA/NJ/NY/DE going to BG and willing to bring one back for me?

Thanks in advance,

Bill

I am located right outside of philly.

X2 on that comment. I brought one back from Reynolds for a friend of mine, it is the nicest Fiberglass quality fiberglass hood I have seen so far.

I will have my POS hood on at Bowling Green with the amount of bondo it would have took to get my hood straight it probably would weight more than a steel hood.

I can really tell te difference between the ones Holly is selling and the crappy one I have on our car. One good thing is the worn out lift spring hold the glass hood up just fine.

Sam,
I can bring you one of my fiberglass hoods to Bowling Green and you can take that one off! Besides, Toni should have the BEST on her car!! Let me know I only have two left now!

See you and Toni in BG.

Stock steel hood = 51 lbs
Cal's fiberglass hood = 27 lbs
Weight savings = 24lbs

The fiberglass hood needs a hood spring to have 40lbs of force.

You cannot use the stock hood pistons. Yes, you can remove one and use one stock piston. But when you close the hood, it twists the hood.

or

Find yourself a worn out set of hood pistons

or

Buy fiberglass hood pistons from Kirban (not a fan of repackage parts and selling them as yours)

or

I went this route....
Spring Lift, part# SL2-40-1. Spring Lift is made by Attwood Corp, who is now Attwood Marine. Or you can by them from here: Lift Support Technologies.

I did read and there is nothing about the rate for the hood shocks, just the hood spring. Went to order the SL2-40-1 but they require a spring rate. So......

The "40" is the spring rate/force.

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.

Hey Guys, I have a customer in Birmingham Alabama wanting to purchase one of my Fiberglass Hoods, can anyone in that area bring one back from Bowling Green? Maybe he can help you out with gas money! :wink:
