Did you shorten the hood for looks or to keep the air from lifting it?

Korek Design in Pa. did an excellent job on the the body and paint.....the fiberglass is really straight.

Really fair on price, done ahead of schedual and the whole car was completely detailed, inside and out like it was going to an indoor show.

They picked it up and delivered it to Connecticut. When they rolled it out of the trailer, we didn't want to touch it, let alone work on it.

Glasstek made the one piece nose and the hood. We wanted the hood that way for ease of mounting and air issues. They said no problem. It has a nice wheelwell flange behind the front tire too.

I believe we got one of the first ones for the 70' Dart.IIRC

Always contact me before leaving town. It might discourage me from showing off, next time.


Laps at ATCO as soon as Pop gets well enough to keep the shop open while we're gone. Hopefully before it get's hazy, hot and humid. Until then, it's "after hours raceway".
