Re: Where to get a New Hood?

Try looking at Jegs Racing on line.
http://www.jegs.com/?sendroicid=1B2A...FSUqagodnl83tg also Summit racing has the Goodmark steel hood along with many others.
http://www.summitracing.com/brands/Goodmark/ I have the steel 2in. Goodmark. Ive got some really nice photos of the Goodmark if you want to see them.

also go with a glasstek hood their the best in my opinion

Re: Where to get a New Hood?

Heres a link to Thunder Racing to give you some idea as to cost to the Glasstek.
http://www.thunderracing.com/catalog...id=154&sid=598
If I were you Id try to get some photos of not just the top of the hood but the underside and the rear cowl opening so you know exactly what your getting. Maybe some of the guys here can help you out with some photos of the Glasstek hoods. I can give you some photos of the steel Goodmark 2in. cowl. They also make it in a 4in. hood.

Re: Where to get a New Hood?

im sure a 2 inch cowl will clear my motor, but do you think a 4 inch would be too much?

Re: Where to get a New Hood?

The only draw back to the Goodmark Cowl hood I'm told is the holes in the cowl . They don't flow air as well as a completely open rear.

Re: Where to get a New Hood?

IMO A 4in. is fairly tall. My 2in. Goodmark is 3in. at the rear vent.

Re: Where to get a New Hood?

If the guys here are recommending a 4in. Glasstek than that may fit what your looking for because you would be getting the 4in. plus a much lighter hood than steel and also a bolt on. Just be sure to use hood pins in the front. I looked for a 3in. Glasstek on line and only found a 2in. and a 4in. but no 3in. sorry.
