Years ago, probably mid 70's , there was a awb car out of Grand Rapids Michigan that came to the track one weekend. only came once never seen it again. That car had a bubble windshield in it. Anyone ever seen a bubble windshield in these cars before?

The Plan is to go out and do some Match Bash Racing. There are a good amount of these cars out there. Time to get them together and put on some exhibition races.

I'm down, but ever so slightly altered to be detected or acknowledged. Hope to make some of the events.

Bubbles were used on some of the FX 2% percent cars.

Ralph,if your looking for a complete hood (scoop bonded to hood) Glasstek will do it in either glass or carbon fiber. There is a labor charge for bonding it. I will post a picture of the hood they did for my dart.

Your hood look amazing. I called glass tech and they did offer the service of bonding both pieces. TXS for the pics

2% wheelbase alteration. Usually 3-5 inches forward. No vent windows and countless aluminum trick parts throughout.
Here's the Ramcharger 2% in action. It still has the vent windows in place. Only four post cars made in 64' and four hardtop cars made in 65'

Here's a clearer mug shot of the suspect. look at the wheel placements. Note the aluminum doors with all plexi-glass window without vent wings.

Here's a clearer look at the 2% 65' Hardtop specimen.
These and the prior 64'2% were the predecessors to the more commonly known 10/15 Altered AFX cars of yore.

Nice AWB project! Sorry for the hi-jack but since you guys are talking early B-Body Hoods. Where is the current "go to" place for 64 Dodge pin on fiberglass hoods? Seems all that make them are at the other end of the country. Shipping will likely be almost what the hood cost so just want to minimize any issues. Looks like glastek makes them for everything else (including 1961 Plymouths??)but NOT a 64 B-Body Dodge shruggy I bought my scoop a few years a go from Fiberglass+ in Texas and should have bought a hood then but, they retired. Too bad I don't need one for a Nova as I think 7-11 stocks them right next to the Slurpee machine biggrin

Yeah, these cars are a awkward bunch indeed, especially when they are a one year only body design. Some parts interchange and others do not. The doors are the same and fiberglass units are available from????????Glassman IRIC, They make a lot of AFX stuff. Not sure on the quality though, but yes, he's out here in the East.
A cat by the name of Kulasa in Detroit will chemically mill your original hood to be light, but maybe not as light as glass before becoming too flimsy. Also a ways away as far as shipping.
Funny enough, Chrysler used to get all their cars/parts dipped in your neck of the woods back in the day before the EPA ended all that fuzz.
