Hood question

Has anyone purchased a stinger fiberglass hood for a 68-74 nova? If so how was the fitment? Pics? Thanks

nope, but i totally want one, just aint payin 500 bucks for fiberglass

I used to have one. I had the stock hood springs on though so it bowed up a little in the middle. Perhaps with lighter springs it may not do this.

I dont mind paying as long as its good quality. I like the dick harell look.

I've got one ready to go on. Mine fit pretty decent size wize. I have the light springs so the bowing is much less but still not perfect.

My beef is the hood is so flimsy in the middle. The ones with the full inner panel are probably much better.

I actually glassed in some reinforcement from the front corners of the hood to the front edges of the scoop to stiffen it up. Much better now.

I also modified the edges so I could use the factory rubber bumpers along the fenders. It's ready for paint now so... hopefully in spring I can convince my painter friend to squirt it.

Was the hood made by glasstech?

Thats a nice car

That is what i am looking for. Very nice car by the way!

I bought mine through Tamraz...

It is made by VFN fiberglass. They have a website and sell direct at same pricing. They also sell the fully finished (underside) version.
