does anyone do a bulge hood in steel?

Here is a link to another post.  Scroll down and  read what drop top has to say about fiberglass parts. This is coming from a man that is very well respected around here and does body and paint for a living.

My sole intent here is to help people, who don't know better,  to make well thought out decisions.
In my opinion buying glass is spending a dollar trying to save a dime.

Again hate to be difficult here but that same thing can be said for any aftermarket reproduction part. If you are looking for a perfect fit you have to find an original and massage it back into shape.
I am trying to do the same thing presenting the information that I have seen and experienced. I just want to cut through the misinterpreting and parroting of information, which happens very commonly on forums.
All I am trying to say in all of this is.
You have to find a good manufacturer to get a good part.
A good fiberglass hood will require no more prep work than a metal one.
A fiberglass piece will never look or fit exactly like a stock one but its not as bad as people are making it out to be.

I dont see ebay as the problem. For me at has been great. I`d much rather ebay than scrounge swap meets or do biz with most (not all) of the major mopar salvage yards.  a sample of the awesome deals i have found.  7 parts cars @$500 or less (to include 3 power bulge hoods), cherry 71 71 R/T hood for $375, 2 mint 72 fenders $120, 73-74 rear valance with cut-outs $28.50, 4 am/fm radios @$50 or less, and lots lots more.  I see a lot worse prices everyday right here in the parts for sale section.  

how true is that!  I hope I am not one of those guys

This post is going crazy.  I have the answer.  Mike...Just buy a bulge hood from me at Carlisle!

The bulge hoods are getting crazy.  I think someday it will be reproduced.  Look at the Challenger hood thats reproduced.  There was alot of 71-4 Chargers made so why not.   I don't see it being done in the near future by any means. Yes..it's expensive to make.  I know since I am doing the bumper fillers as we speak.  How about that for you 73-74 lovers?
