Doc...for you to have "fiberglass" in your handle, you don't seem to up on current composites.

As for what parts weigh. The hood on our drag radial Buick, is a nice piece, from Glastek, weighs about 25lbs. The entire carbon front end, with the titanium tree, on the pro-mod car, weighs 12 lbs.

Come on now Monte .... to be TECH correct ....CF is not fiberglass. And I am NOT up-at-all on CF. And honestly ...I don't care to know any-more than I do. WHY ? ...because how many regular people can afford it ?

Some here are talking about THREE THOUSAND DOLLAR hoods ? HOW times have changed !! I used to be beat-up by the price-shoppers comparing my stuff to that JUNK PLACE from CA. THAT DEAL alone was a major factor in me idling production at my shop.

A 25 lb hood ? ... Glastek did you no favors ... ... IMO - it should be HALF that weight. That whole CF FE ? ...why wouldn't they put that together with a MAG tree?
