Maybe Glasstek?
I know Bruner's built some years ago, maybe some are still floating around.

I would doubt a supplier exists.

You can make your own, but its a lot of work, and the effort increases exponentially as your cosmetic needs increase.

I suspect demand is rather low if it exists at all.

I built my own CF as a hobby for my 62.

Just to give you some financial perspective, and I am not overly familiar with a 63 hood, a one off FG hood from a mold, with a quality donor OEM hood, might be in the $4K range, a second hood would bump that to say $4800, third to $5400, and so forth, don't see price getting below $500/hood until after 10?. CF/Kevlar primed would add $200/hood, cosmetic shiny layed perfect CF would add $500/hood.

I am sure plenty out there who could do a hood cheaper, hope they chime in and the hobby gets a supplier.

Good luck.

You know I had a '66 for over 15 years. Yes, I thought it was ugly too. Great race car though. :mrgreen:

Yep. I love the 64-5, the 63 not quite as much and the 66 least of all

'course, I got a face only a momma could love, so there's that... :lol:

Has anyone ever ordered a fiberglass hood from VFN? Those prices look pretty good.

VFN is one of the better glass companies.
