The companies I've used over the years on my own cars and customers for fiberglass bolt on hoods that I would recommend, keep in mind no fiberglass hood jumps out of the box ready painted and installs itself, there's always a degree of fit/finish, depending on your quality standards that will need to be addressed...
AAR Fiberglas, they are now owned by Stinger, Stingers product line is "OK" meaning...good to so-so, but not great by any means, I don't know how AAR's quality may have been affected by the Stinger purchase?
VFN Fiberglass US BodySource GlassTek Unlimited Products
Companies to avoid: Showcars, pure crap Stinger...50/50 shot on quality A&A Harwood WS Racing, great when the Dad ran the bis. but Jr. has run it down quality and delivery wise

No wait, let me re-phrase that... I VERY STRONGLY recommend you avoid doing buisiness with Unlimited Products.
I've never had any issues with Unlimited Fiberglass's service or their products, and I've been buying from them for about 3 decades

You are apparently one of the luckly ones. I had a set of 71 charger fenders which I stored for a year before installing them. Spend many hours getting them straight enough to paint. Then after a week in the sun, the resin "cured" telegraphing the mat through the paint.
You are the only one I found you seems to have had good experiences with Unlimited.

I bought an AAR 6bbl hood several years ago. So far, no issues. By mistake I bought the "bolt on" rather than the "lift off." No problems though and Ive got mine set up with all 4 hood pins for the lift off type.
It'll finally be painted this spring, and theres a few areas I need to fix. All my doing however, banging it around the garage.

What about Larry at Sled City ? My brother is getting a hood from him. He just ordered it a few weeks ago as it will be here soon as he was told 5 to 6 weeks as none were in stock. But I always hear good about his parts and he post on here. I forgot his handle but I think its Glass_man ? But I am not positive on his handle name. Ron

Went to the Glasstek site - no AAR Cuda hoods. I do need a nice hood for my AAR - who has the best one? I want an OE style bolt-on. My original one is going to need a lot of work.
Thanks, -Eric
