Does anyone have any experience with the Nasa hoods for 71-73 Mustangs that several vendors sell on Ebay? Are they all selling the same hood? Are they any good?
Thanks

I bought one but have yet to put it on the car. The scoops fit very nicely and the quality looks good. The true test will be how does it fit. But the lines all look good and it appears to be a good product. It was very well packaged as well so if you have to ship it I think it will do OK. I will repost once I have had time to test fit it (been too busy with other projects to mess with it.).

A bit of trivia - those openings are actually NACA not NASA. NACA was the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics, the organization that preceeded NASA. Some old timer engineers that worked for NACA get their shorts in a KNOT when this is improperly referenced. Fortunately, I'n not one of them!

Thanks for the info. I have seen them advertised both ways and wasn't sure which one was correct.
