OK, I dug into some old emails & found the following:
(This is from 2012): I just called & spoke with Barry at ASC&P. Sounds like they build good AAR & T/A hoods, BUT also sounds like he is getting close to discontinuing building them because they are so labor intensive.
Here is a link to photos of these hoods:
http://www.abnerjones.com/hoodpics.htmBarry's phone #: (610) 458-8395. He sounds like a good guy & spent a lot of time going into details about how he builds them & his emphasis on quality. Gotta make my mind up fast on who's hood I'm going to buy for my AAR. AAR hood is $850.00, T/A hood is $895.00.

My AAR was missing it's original hood and I bought the ASC&P repro. I have never had the opportunity to compare it's appearance to an original, but I can vouch for it's good quality construction. It apparently features strengthening to avoid the warping that the originals had, which is either good or bad, depending on your point of view! ASC&P also supply a windshield washer set which was particular to these hoods. Hope this helps.
ASC&P (Barry in Pennsylvania) has the best T/A hoods. I didn't know he made AAR hoods, but I imagine if he makes them they are top notch.
ASC&P & First Place Auto Products both have the windshield squirters available. Of the two of them, the First Place Auto Products are better.
