JUNK. I got a hood for my 68 Barracuda and it was horrible. It was almost completly flat which didn't match the shape of the car. It was a bolt to hinges hood and the frame was so crooked underneath there is no way it would have worked. I took that one on the chin, tried to sell it for years at local swap meets. My dad and I were talking the other day and we can't remember if it did sell or if we trashed it.

Unlimited is TOTAL JUNK!
I had some fenders from them for a 71 Charger. spent more to make them fit than the cost. Then the resin shrank in the sun light (after two years of storage in the box) showing all the fiberglass fibers through the new paint.

Glenn, The hood on my duster is a unlimited products bolt on, and yes it took alot of work to make it work/bolt up and It still don't look to good but its mainly a race car. I wouldn't use them again, the shipping cost was more then the the hood cost. Keefe

Hey Glenn, I had a nice Unlimited glass hood for my Scamp. And then I tried to bolt it on to fit the hood pins a day before paint. Then it somehow took flight out of the garage and on the driveway. And Dad just walked away . Little Brother just . Then I cooled down enough to laugh about the hood overlapping the fender by only 2". The bracing was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy off. It then became a pin-on/ bolt-on hood. That should tell you how I really feel. But that's just me. On a second note. I just got another Glasstek cowlhood for my car and all 3 that I have now are Glasstek, and very nice hoods. They are worth the extra money. Call me sometime, I may know where you can get some used glass fenders if they are still there. Later

This is an Unlimited hood. It did need some work to get it mounted properly etc. But if I was on a budget I would buy another. If you don't have money most times you can spend a little more time making things work.

I had to use a wood spacer on one hinge to get it centered.
You can see it if you look closely.

I have their bolt-on hood on my 70 Duster and other than the mounting bolts being a little off (required slotting the hinges more, it fit and looks great, perfect. -dulcich
Steve's certainly got some cred but do yourself a BIG favor and avoid Unlimited like the plague. Their stuff really does suck.
