Forgot the company for fiberglass.
There is one hood in Florida that was steel but that was a one time deal.
Zack, this it???

Class Glass & Performance, in Maryland makes a 2.5" cowl hood. I have it on my Grand Marquis. $450.00
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?
Here it is. I remember following this thread.

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.
After the original vendor backed out, Reinheart steped in and that ended like this.Originally Posted by Champion FGP
Tod's car is the one that has the one off custom steel hood.Originally Posted by Dennis Reinhart
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.
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.
