i dont know about that one, but most all have some type or warpage going on and will require hours of shimming and working it to get it to fit right. mine is about 8 years old and still have some waves to it.
I'm (still) close to ordering my teardrop hood from Crites. It's a lot of money for any fiberglass hoods and based on the posts I have seen and the disclaimers on various websites it seems that you are in the lap of the gods as to what quality you will receive. I'm a little nervous about this.
As an alternative I have considered buying the fiberglass teardrop, cutting a hole in my existing hood and screwing / glassing it on, for a stronger, straighter job. Can anyone point to a good website or set of instructions from glassing a hood scoop on. Thanks.

Interested here as well with the fiberglass hoods.
Does anyone know where I can buy a hood scoop and mold it to my steal hood?
But there's a catch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like the look and over all width the fiberglass hoods you can purchase from mustangunlimited and others, but can't find a scoop to match.
Anyone?

so anybody actually own one like that that can tell me on the fit of these hoods. also what prop rod would u guys recomend for this hood, ive heard bad things about the lightweight springs for fiberglass hoods
I have a shelby style from branda and the fit was pretty good. He urged me to buy the maroon gel coat one because it was a better fit. I only had to fit the edges and was impressed with the overall fit. It did have some waves in it and I blocked it several times to get those out. I had to do some work on the bottom side to make it presentable, but it still has the fiberglass matte look on the majority of it.
Overall I was very impressed with the fit of their parts and the honesty I got from asking them questions. He told me which parts would require work and which ones would not.
So, do you research and ask questions on here (or do a search) and you will find people with good and bad experiences.
