1970 Charger Hood Replacement

[eda4031]

Have been unable to find a NOS or repro steel hood. Just found a fiberglass one from Glastek. Has anyone used these hoods on a 68-70 Charger and were they able to make the turn signals operational?  I spoke with Glastek  and was told any competent body man could install them. Are they blowing smoke up my posterior.  Thanks for any help.

ANY competent body man?
Abilities vary from person to person. I am a decent Carpenter but I've worked with some REAL hacks that seem to stay employed. The same surely applies to bodywork!
I have yet to see a fiberglass part that fits as nice as a stock steel part. Most have waves, gaps you could stick your finger in and rough finishes underneath. Yeah, they can be modified to fit right by adding material to close gaps, block sanding and filler, etc.
SpeedKore  offers Carbon Fiber hoods but they are NOT cheap!
