Just wanted to see what the feel is for the aftermarket Shaker hoods for 1971 Barracudas. Whom seems to have the highest quality and best fitment? I have heard good things about AMD but wanted to ask the groups option.
I do have a original flat hood with the conversion kit but i don't think I have the skill level to do it without messing it up and i don`t know anyone in the Houston area that is an expert in doing one of these conversion. Any feedback would be appreciated. Don't waste your time with the Shaker hood "kits", purchase a AMD Shaker hood, I've bought/installed several over the last few years with ZERO to minimal issues, your biggest concern will be sourcing the proper components for the Shaker bubble...

I would just find a real hood but that's just me. As opposed to what? An imaginary hood? Do you mean a used ORIGINAL shaker hood? If so, those are basically almost like hen's teeth at this point in time, and waaaay too expensive IMO. To the OP, if it were me, I would source an AMD shaker hood, and start looking for all the shaker related parts through Year One, Classic Industries, etc. Good luck.

I have a real nice hood available that was converted using the Snobar kit. It was on a high end show car until the previous owner paid big $$$ for an original shake hood. I will sell for the same price as an AMD. If you are interested let me know via PM.
