I've got a six pack hood for my Coronet from US Body Source that was pretty good and a front bumper from vfn which was so-so, but I was going for something cheapo there. I'm sure there are other companies out there.

Hands down, AAR is top notch.

I've posted this many times before, but I feel strongly about it. No matter what you do stay away from Unlimited Products.

If they were the last fiberglass vender on the planet I would make my own parts out of squirrel urine and tree bark.

Never had an issue but I prepaid and had them bring me parts to Englishtown so I saved shipping and tax - 6-pack hood for my Duster and front and rear bumpers.

Try to arrange to do the same local to you. Great quality products - smokes others I've seen. But a number of members here have had issues with their delivery to be honest.

Glasstek products are very good. Quality, fit & finish is also excellent. I no longer have the car but I put a sixpack hood on it ten years ago and was very happy with it. I also purchased the light weight springs for the hinges and they worked good. This was not the thin light weight fiberglass that does't hold their shape.

I've got a deck lid and bulge hood from Glasstek. I'm ok with them both.

Hmm, the tree bark I have plenty of but I am unclear on how you collect the squirrel urine. Can I buy some of yours?


In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

It took me six months to get a T/A hood for my Challenger from AAR. When I took it to the painter I found that AAR removed the hood from the mold and turned it right side up too soon and the scoop sagaged.
I ordered a hood for my 69 dart from them and it only took two months to get here but it fits pretty well.

I've heard nothing but good stuff about GLASSTEK . I called them about a glass hood for my 63 Plymouth. They're one of the only companies that make " "Bolt-On" " glass hoods for these early 62-65 cars. They are reinforced with steel inserts. The lighter springs are highly recommended. The owner (Robert) rated his own hood at 8 or 9 out of 10. He said anyone rating their glass a 10 is full of B.S. as glass is never "Perfect". I'll probably give Glasstek the nod for a glass hood for my 63.

Unfortunately AAR no longer makes a "Bolt-On" glass hood for a 63 Plymouth. In fact, AAR advised me that they no longer make much for years 62,63,or 64. Whatever they have left in stock is pretty much it. Just not enough business for these years.
