Title: Fiberglass Hoods
Post by: Reeves1 on December 21, 2012, 07:53:59 AM: http://www.andysautosport.com/ford/1971_1980_pinto/exterior/hoods/fiberglass_hoods/unlimited_products/

I sent the place a message asking if they have/make them still. Reply was yes, but made when ordered & wait time was 1-2 weeks.

I've seen a number of people looking for glass hoods.....now you have a place to get them !

I will be ordering at least one in the new year.

Scott - maybe pin this site ?

I had 100% bad luck buying a trunk lid from the guy in Canada (throwaway junk). Hairy Glass in FL was recommended to me but admit I have not tried them yet.

I could buy (likely) a half doz (or more) , including shipping, for the price of one made here in Alberta.

is they are junk.Needs lots of
finish and bodywork to make presentable.

There is a f/g guy on RJ I have been thinking
of contacting about making a run of glass hoods
for Pintos.

The last one I bought was as nice on the side that shows, BUT the under side looked like raw unfinished fiber glass. Seeing as how the freight cost as much as the hood, I keep it, but there was no way to smooth it out. Painted it with that splatter paint made for car trunks. Looked pretty good in the dark.

There is no try.
Only do, or do not.

Let me know what the guy says......
