fiberglass hoods

Mustangs plus gets a lot of heat in here about their hoods, they just sell the ones from Maier Racing though and they clearly print that they are for racing cars not show cars. I have no idea who makes the best hoods but Maier is probably not it. Be prepared to pay significantly more for the best ones though. A freind of mine just bought a high quality one for his 2001 WS6 and it cost over $1,100!

FWIW I've had no problems with my Maier hood for my '67. I even picked it up directly from Maier's shop. All the hinges line up and I use the stock latch. I had to drill two holes to clear the Monte Carlo bar's bolt heads but that's about it. This was about 8 years ago and it's still holding up just fine.

There's a guy on Ebay that goes by "daddysundown" that is near Tulsa, OK that has some hoods on Ebay. I can't vouch for the quality as I haven't seen one in person, but they seem to be nice. I've wanted a '67 Shelby styled hood for my '65, his prices are decent and I wouldn't have to pay shipping.

Same here. Great quality and just the normal prep before painting. I would suggest you purchase the hood with the metal bracing "glassed" in.
They are good up to at least 145 MPH.................

Do you have a URL, or a phone #?fastmax said:The best I have been reading about is HO Fibertrends they built the hoods for 95 Cobra R. Quality is second to none.
I'm looking for a new hood, since I'm in just dead love with my Maier peice from Mustangsplus.

Problem is, HO Fibertrends doesn't make classic hoods. Cervini's is another great quality product, but they don't make classic parts either.

I got my hood from Tony Branda, also. It fit great right out of the box and only needed minor work prior to paint. My problem is that I got the all fiberglass hood and it now has a bow in it. I guess leaving the hood up while working on it caused it to sag and I can't get the bow out.
How are the Mustang Depot hoods? How stiff are they? Has anyone's hood sagged or bowed?
