Introduction, description and question
#1
The user name is just me. I am a 1965 Coronet 440 owner for the last few years. Drag race it occasionally under the name "Grandpa's Rockin Chair" thanks to my grandkids. The car is undergoing a change by dropping in a crate hemi from Dodge (p5249666ae) TTI headers and a custom built power glide from Sullivan Motorsports. Other than the cage, mini tubbing and Caltrac system I have kept her stock appearing including the bench seat with original upholstery front and rear.

I am however leaning toward a hood change and have been looking for a fiberglass hood. But as of yet I have not found any that do not look like a six pack hood. Any ideas?

thanks
Jay

Have you checked Kramers Auto in PA?
I love Mopars so much I'm date coding the skid marks in my underwear.

Thanks! Kramer will be checked on tonight.

As for pics I am a computer illiterate dinosaur. I will email some if anyone wants to see or post them.

Thanks

15601561Welcome to this site! I think your best hood scoop would be the one installed on the S/S cars. Those low profile units, they look SO SHARP on your type car. Here are 2 pictures...These are available from a couple vendors but someone else on this site should be able to pin point whom and where, I just have the information readily at hand. I do realize you are looking for a complete fiberglass hood but a scoop like the one in the pictures attached to a fiberglass hood would be awesome! You are from Dallas I see, I heard from my neighbor who just got back from visiting relatives in Dallas that it is quite hot there right now? I have to get to see your city one day. Again, welcome to the site from a fellow dinosaur. If you want help learning how to post pictures on this site please feel totally free asking for help, this is a friendly place with tons of help available!!!

The pic you posted of the super stock hood is what I have on the car. I was just hoping someone made one in fiberglass.
