Has anyone used any USbody fiberglass parts hoods ect.

I had a hood from them. I had to trim off about 5/8" off the front edge to make it fit right. It was for my old '73 Duster. I actually drove 3 hours to pick it up.

Here's a pic of the U.S. Body Source world headquarters.

Very nice upscale facility. I ordered a hood from them a month ago now I'm scared. So fit is not that good how about finish??
Tom

Don't know about the hoods they sell,,,, but the 1973 Cuda fenders i ordered were garbage.

I got a hemi scooped hood my demon and am pretty happy with it .
Had to do a little trimming but not bad .

Yes, but not recently. The pin-on T/A-style hood I bought for my Challenger back in the late '90s was pretty decent. It fit nicely, the finish was good enough not to require a lot of prep work before being painted semi-flat black, and it was beefy.

How beefy? I brain-faded one night and hit the road w/o the hood pins... about 40 MPH the hood flew off & over the car and landed in the street behind me: chipped the rear corners. I put it back on and went to the track the next day anyway, then later had a local body shop that does 'glass work repair & repaint it.

Can't say if they've changed since then, but my hood was a good piece for the money.

I bought a six pack scoop for my '69 7 years ago. I sold it 3 years later after spending too much to get it to fit. Too heavy imho.

Was the hood hinge or pin on ?
thanks

Of pin?

Probably meant hinged or pinned on.

yes, I meant hinged or pin on style could you elaborate on the fitment issues.
Thanks

It was hinged. AAR have a much better product.

I wouldn't worry about how the place looks. I got some basically perfect fiberglass parts from a guy whose shop looked like an abandoned garage... fiberglass people are odd

Who makes a fiberglass shaker hood for a 70-74 Challenger and who's is better quality than someone elses?

While we're asking, who makes a cowl hood for a '69 Barracuda?

I have an old one. It was/is terrible. Probably bought 17/18 years ago.

Tom, I ordered 2 hoods from Glasstek about 4 weeks ago. One for my Dart Sport and one for 493_johns Demon. They told me 4 weeks so hopefully they will ship next week. I will let you know how the quality is once they arrive.

Hi Randy were they cowl hoods?
Tom

I started a different post not long ago about fiberglass hoods and so far Glasstek is at the top of the list.
I really look forward to hearing about their quality also.
Thank you very much!!

Tom, they were not cowl hoods, only flat raceweight ones. We are both going with forward facing scoops.
