Just curious.  Id really like to find a steel hood, and im in no hurry so I can wait it out... but am curious what your opinions of the fiberglass ones are.

I'll talk to Monty76 about his hood.  It took some work to get nice, but I think he's getting happier with it.

Alright they seem to be getting harder and harder to find and everyone wants one.  I dont think I can afford to pay what they go for right now, so im looking at my options.  Its either...

A.  Finish the car with the flat hood and wait for a bulge hood, then have it painted and added to the car later. 

B.  Buy a fiberglass one and be done with it. 


Im not sure what to do, looking for some opinions guys.  If you say youd never buy a fiberglass hood please give a reason why.  Alot of bad ass mopars in that era had fiberglass hoods from the factory, so how can they as bad as some people make them out to be?
