yeah, a suncoast creations hood at a swap meet for 80 bones. its the one i have on right now
lucky you, i can't afford the ebay or other going rates for a sun coast hood
how was the fit?
it was good, the left front corner was wrecked and i had to do some body work on it but it fits pretty well. considering the price, i could care less:yup: good luck in your search
hey just found this:

If you have a Z I would get a cowl hood. They look awesome. If I owned a Z I would have one.
i got mine off ebay for 299
thanks, well for the cost of shipping i thought it was worth posting and asking. its one thing to return a small part for an exchange or just eat the mistake. a hood sets you back a few.Quote:

it was from pershingautobodyparts, fits almost perfect but it did need some prep workQuote:

it was a little wavy, we sanded and primed it 3 timesQuote:

wavy is not bad, as long as the mounting holes, hinge holes and stuff line up right. i mean as long as they got the important stuff right and the hood goes on straight and closes tight, a little sanding is not bad.
i wonder if there is enough material to sand out or fill and sand out those lovely chrysler concord lines?
I have seen the Hardwood hoods on summit too. But I can't get the wife to agree to a 3 or 4 inch cowl.
I like the SS hoods, well I like just about all the styles i have seen so far. I just wish some one would make a hood without those chrysler concord lines, lol.
is the hood in your sig pic the one you are talking about? looks nice.Quote:

yup! thanksQuote:
