why? vfn fiberglass makes fiberglass bulge hoods already. maybe they can modify their existing design for you?

[charger_cody]

I dont have $600 dollars for shipping.

If you think someone is going to build you a 1 off custom hood for less $ than the VFN you are probably in for a big surprise.

[moparguy01]

shipping will more than likely cost you around 150-175, plus the 400 for the hood. a one off will more than likely be way way more than that. but good luck finding someone anyways.

You do know that you have to have a bulge hood to make a mold to make a fiberglass bulge hood? Additionally, you have to have enough fiberglass and resin to make both the mold and the hood. The fiberglass, resin and labor would probably exceed the $600 pretty darn quick.
And, if you expect the hood to be a bolt on, you'll have to make the steel inserts for the hinge mounts and the hood latch insert. It's about a three day job to make the first hood. Then hope that it fits correctly.

there was a man in vermont selling a bulge hood for $150 that needed a little work i will see if i could dig up his info again and some pics

[richard pettys 73]

i found his info and emailed him to see if he still had it ...i will let you know when he gets back to me    just think 150 + max 300 for shipping = 450 max for real bulge hood

Hey Richard,I just sent a hood not too long ago through the UPS store from Cleveland Oh. to Minnesota,$188. Is the seller claiming $300 to ship? They dont even have to be crated up. I re-used a box that a van 1/4 panel came in,cut it to size,and I wrapped the hood in the blue foam sheeting that the van panel came in. The buyer recieved it unharmed within a week. The cardboard was real thick ,it worked good. I got it from a collision shop that was throwing it out.

I would go with VFN hood also,they are of great fit and quality,similar to how the hoods are made for the newer (past 10-15years)Mustangs with the glass hoods. If I cant find a good deal on one by summer, I know I'm getting one.

Please do. Thats the kind of deal that i can actually afford right now.

Do you have his number?

CODY HERE ARE A COUPLE PICS OF THE HOOD....MAYBE SOME MEMBERS COULD TELL YOU IF IT IS WORTH FIXING 

[SuperCharger]

seriously? I'm getting ready to do my own one off custom fiberglass hood for my 92 dodge diesel, and seriously I'm going to be into it for at least a few hundred bucks for materials alone. Let alone molding my hood and custom fabing the hood for what it will be used for.

[richard pettys 73]

SO DO YOU THINK FOR AROUND $400 IT IS WORTH FIXING?

[SuperCharger]

SO DO YOU THINK FOR AROUND $400 IT IS WORTH FIXING?

easily. I've got a gt hood for my 68 that is bent about the same that I'll fix myself. Heck if it's that bad cut the corner off a good flat hood and weld it to the bulge hood

[richard pettys 73]

WELL THEN CODY   I MIGHT HAVE JUST STUMBLED ONTO A DECENT BULGE HOOD FOR YOU....   I WILL LET YOU KNOW AS SOON AS I TALK TO THE MAN ABOUT SHIPPING IT

[richard pettys 73]

A COUPLE MORE PICS HE JUST SENT ME

Yay.

It looks as if it has a couple rust issues. I wonder if its a bad rust issue.

trust me Cody that ones way cheaper in the end then if you were to try and get one made. even locally to avoid shipping it'll be expensive for sure. the custom mold(their is a ton and I mean a ton that goes into a proper mold) I'm not sure if the frames are the same but you could always find a decently rust free hood and steel metal from it to fix it.
