marauder hood

[russell072009]

i remember years ago when i had my vic there was some guy on this forum that was going to make an after market steel hood for the marauder. i can not find the post anymore. anyone remember what happened to that guy or that project?

Forgot the company for fiberglass.

There is one hood in Florida that was steel but that was a one time deal.

Class Glass & Performance, in Maryland makes a 2.5" cowl hood. I have it on my Grand Marquis. $450.00

[russell072009]

no there was a guy taking preorders for a custom steel hood. it was started on this forum and worked its way over to the vic side. that's how i found out about it. he had a few concepts drawn up. nobody remembers?

The site's search function sucks, use Google.

i tried for hours. apparently i'm not good with key words. i would love to have one of those hoods. anyone want to try again? see if we can get bowman9 back in the mix?

I plan on making my own hood. It will be 100% custom I already got a used Hood to work on it will probably take 1-2 used hood before I get it right (alot of fabrication) A guy couldnt make a living doing something like this alot of man hours. I plan the hood to remain much as it does just the rise in the middle will be slightly higher then it is now.Very similar to the Turbo Marauder on the board

That thread then evolved into this one

Then it all ended like this.

sorry everyone

It has not broke 10 orders Start to expect your refunds after the 15th of Oct unless something changes.

If you want to try something else I am open to suggestions

After the original vendor backed out, Reinheart steped in and that ended like this.

I have called three companies and they will no commit and I do not blame them unless we can get a committed group to this why would any company invest over a 1000 in a mold for a few sales, this is the issue we are having now trying to get a hood for Tod's car

Tod's car is the one that has the one off custom steel hood.

One of the main reasons the group buy failed is because people were divided between pure looks and functionality. Some wanted functional heat removal, some wanted more hood clearance, and others just wanted their car to look more aggressive. I wonder if this would have a better shot now since there is a standard cowl on the market. We can focus our efforts more specifically on appearance now. Not only that, but it seems like this forum is more active now than it was then.

well i'll be honest i really love the cobra model. the dual scoop looks too much like the challengers. keep it under 450 and i would prefer steel and i'm all in. just tell me who to pay.

[BODYMAN]

Yes Todds Turbo Marauder ! As for the site being more active now as you can see back then 1,st 3 replies were I got My CC in hand. Its all numbers not enough profit in this.

[bigmerc'03]

man that turbo hood is nice LETS DO IT!!!!!!

[ctrlraven]

I'd still like to get a Cobra styled heat extractor hood made for my MM but the cowl hood from Class Glass will do fine for now.

+1 on the cobra R style hood! it would definitely be nice!
