MAS has gone the way of the brontosaurus.
They were local.
C&A performance bought their inventory and they do have someone doing the glass for them on a limited basis.
I can't speak to the quality , but if they still have an active phone # , I would make sure it is in stock if you want it in any kind of hurry.
It took two weeks to tell me that they could not do a hood for my '65.

For a race car, that you don't care how it looks, their stuff is probably ok. Otherwise, look elsewhere...

I had a 6-pak 69 road runner hood from MAS. It looked ok on top. The bottom wasn't made like the factory with the box to seal the carbs to. On the street you couldn't tell the difference. At 80MPH on the track...the front corners of the hood curled up 90 degrees. That's a little scarey. At 120MPH I could see the carbs from the bow in the back of the hood. If you're racing don't go MAS.

I disagree. I had to do up a MAS six pack hood to run with NENDRA. I've done auto collision and custion paint and restoration for 25 years. My MAS hood was better raw than DrJay's USbody source. He and I put close to 10 hours into his hood to get ready for paint. My MAS hood maybe an hour. After making an airpan it is only a tenth slower than my Pro Stock hood. Here are some vids and pics. The Duster runs close to 140 and zero lifting or bowing. I have 3 zeus fasteners on the sides plus 2 on the rear of the hood on the cowl side.




The last of the three clips is with the MAS hood. Paul "Cudafied" sent me these. This is 1st and second round and then they let me make an exhibition pass later in the day. Enjoy
