I'm getting sick of looking for a good hood. I am considering making a mold for a bolt on cf or just plain fiberglass. I've been reseaching Materials. My dad used to make 3 point race hydroplanes and has the know how. It would be a lot of work for a one off deal. I am thinking for the slug I would take one of my rotted lipped hoods and smooth it out. It might be a nice winter project.

If you could make a copy of the fberglass hood on the famous XR7-S I would buy one. Its aggressive looking.

I would have to start with the stock hood. If I can do it without many complications I would entertain other ideas.

Check out US Body Source, they sell fiberglass hoods and fenders

Carbon fiber would be really cool if you make one. Expensive but look fantastic cut and polished. Not to mention the weight savings. I don't think anyone makes a CF cougar hood anyone? I know about the glass ones and the one Robin at G Force makes that awesome Shelby hood.

I went through the same hood search until I just said screw it a couple weeks ago and fixed the rusty one. I think it would be cool on a race car. How many hours would it take to have a finished one?

I could easily see 40 hours in making the mold. I figure it would cost me $1000 not including my time to make the first hood. I have other stuff I would like to make too. Fender extentions, trunk lid, and cowl cover. I hate that these cars have heavy zinc die cast parts. I bet there is 40lbs zinc parts. If they made these parts out of aluminum at least you could fix the stuff.

Now that looks like nice stuff. Im not sure I would trust it for a vinyl roof but for the dash and door panels and such, YA!
