Yeah. Pick up a Super Chevy, CHP or GMHTP magazine and you'll see the full page ad. $429 for the 3rdgen hood. Considering that I paid $400 for my junk Harwood, I'd say that's a good price.

If I knew that, I would have given it to you instead of telling you to go buy all of those magazines.

I think they said they have a hood with a steel frame but fiberglass body. maybe. You'll have to check out the site. They have some very cool stuff!

I just got my car back from being painted yesterday. I just got a steel cowl hood from goodmark. I ordered it from a retailer (out of one of those super chevy magazines) and it fits great. I love the way it looks, although they claim it is two inches, it is more like 3 in the back. The back is screened and it is functional. I prefer the steel over the fiberglass because i wanted something finished underneath and only a few fiberglass hoods are. I don't know how to put pics on here or I could show you. If you go to goodmarkindustries.com it has a pic, but it isn't a very good one.
