I would look for all glass, or get some promises signed in blood you wont have the problems we had.

Everyone - Thanks for the feedback.

I'm surprised it was that far off. That's the first I've heard that complaint although I've seen some installed that rub the cowl slightly because they're too long. I think you're trading one set of headaches for another by going with the all FG hood. I seriously studied these and ultimately stuck with my steel hood - which has a boat load of hours in it.

Here's one post with pictures of the FG on steel hood:

I thought this hood was commissioned/made by Parts Place. I do know the wings come out of Canada and are a major POS.

M1 confirmed Wings does indeed produce them for Parts Place. I am fairly certain they produce the rear wings also, which I have a vast collection of if anyone wants one!

There will be a very nice rear spoiler coming.

So Frank, does that mean you are making a rear T/A wing for the 67/68? If so I will on trying to get a clean one.

A nicer TA wing - that might get me interested enough to buy the hood too! I've seen the FG on steel hood on quite a few cars and I know they don't have 60 hours in them. I'm sure I'd have 30-40 though to get it how I want it. Maybe 60+ if I smoothed the underside.

I can't wait to see it Frank and I know it will be a quality piece if you make it.

Can you give any details. I had one and returned it.

Yes we are making the spoiler. The one on Prodigy continues to sag more everyday. I suspect soon it will stop when the center sags to the trunk lid! The spoilers that are out there now are such horrible pieces of **** it is forceing us to start from scratch. I do not know about pricing yet, but I suspect they will be more $$$$ then the junk out there now, but much better. I do not see us doing hoods.

When you are ready to start selling them make sure you let me kow I would really like one that is not a POS
