I am glad you had a good job on your hood.

My WS bumpers were really crappy

WOW I can't belive all the bashing going on. The most asked question on this forum is about fiberglass and where to buy. WS usally got very few if any negative comments. Now they are coming out of the wood work.

One pass and here is what I got for my almost $800. I fixed it up correctly and once we got done putting it back together and making it fit correctly it looked nice

It was when we got done. What you see there is as it arrived, also unannounced so when the truck showed it was a total surprise with COD for shipping BTW. We did it right but took 20+ hours of work to make it right. never again woudl I deal with those guys. The scoop looked like it was held on with that gap filler foam crap for your home.

We were pressed for time so we installed it and went to the track that night. Installed the 10 dzus buttons and off we went. At about 900' mark the scoop went airborn, followed by the hood from the air pressure I guess. Car was not all that fast as it's best was 9.02 at 149.

---

First time at the track I had to duct tape the front of mine down. On my first pass with it on, right around the 1000 foot mark the hood bent up in the center and left about a 1 inch gap between the hood and fender.

Adding two more pins in the center solved the problem.

whoo boy, you sure opened up a can o worms, but i think we're all glad you got a good piece.

This thread is reminding me of the ones bout GER convertors. Despite everybody finding them to be junk, a few lucky souls actually liked the ones they bought!

There stuff is race stuff. Its not quality,

Let me fix that....

I actually stopped bashing them at every opportunity because I got flamed with the old "it's race quality" (bs), "They are good guys" (not to me!), and "they made mopar stuff when noone else did" (so what?). Bottom line is they ripped myself and many other off. While they may be nice people they are lousy glass layers and even worse businessmen. Say what you will, facts are facts.

Hey now, I had a great converter from GER 20 years ago.

Good luck with that....Of course you can drive over that might help a lot. I waited 9 months for a hood from those guys. One excuse after another. When it showed the shipping was double what I was quoted and the hood well lets just say it was not the best I have seen. One pass and here is what I got for my almost $800.

Everytime I see one of these fiberglass threads it makes me glad I bought my hood from VFN. I got it on time, on budget, and no surprises.

I took my VFN hood out of the box and we set it right on the car. The ONLY thing we did to this hood was to install the Dzus fasteners. NO BODYWORK.

---

Same here, I did need to bond my own cowl to my hood. That was my fault though, I had a Harwood scoop already and when we put it on the VFN hood it looked too small and out of purportion. So I ordered one of VFN's 6" outlaw scoops and all is good now.

Well, here I get to tell everyone, that I haven't had ONE decent peice of fiberglass from anyone so far. Here is my scrap list.

Unlimited, hood, at least 50 hours to make fit, still on the car, weighs a ton. Junk.

Kramer, a "carbon fiber" SS/AA hood that weighed within two pounds of the Unlimited hood. Mr Know-it-all didn't realise that a friend had one that was featherlite before shooting off his mouth. Sent it back, never got my freight credit. Junk, owes me (actually my wife and mom) $130.00 in freight.

U.S Body Source, fiberglass fenders. There's no way I can begin to describe how bad they were. Also owes me $65.00 freight for the trip back for the "technical inspection". Junk.

Glasstek, pair of fiberglass doors, again a gift. Don't even come close to the dimensions (WAY too small, gaps big enough all the way around to throw a cat through, bottom edges pulled in almost "1) of a very "rare" car, a 67-76 A Body. Junk.

Is there even a vendor that doesn't have to be fantastic, just competent out there?

Could`nt have said any better
When someone says " I want to go glass----- parts on this" I get ready to do ALOT of extra work......
