fiberglass hood?

[jekbrown]

less weight is always a good thing. =p Does anyone know where I could find a fiberglass hood for my 85 for less than $450? Seems like when I see them, and its rare, they are HELLA spendy. Whats up with that?

if you remove some of the bracing and the springs, add a prop rod(pain sometimes to use but hey) and hood pins then you can get almost the same weight.
try here they might have one for a good price. i have seen a few of thier hoods, i like them. clean and crisp.
good quality for the ones i have seen

I got a fiberglass hood for my Chevelle for $300 from GlassTek, (630)978-9897. My brother works for Team Performance he helped to get the price down. PM me if you want to get hold of my brother.

It's a wheelbase thing, you wouldn't understand.

just lots more work when you rub a rock.
i do fiberglass on H/uH-1N (helicopter) from time to time. i dont mind doing it. matter of fact i like it. but i would hate to re-glass the side of my blazer. i would rather cut and weld something like that.

One neat thing I did find on that site was a fiberglass half cab for the 73, 74, or 75 Blazers. I didn't think anyone still made those...

$800 though so I guess you really gotta want one.

It's good you mentioned seeing that there. I looked at their page a year ago or so and didn't see it before. It's nice to know I can find a replacement for mine if need be

Cheaper than the other company that used to sell them too.

LOL, you were who I thought of when I saw that! I'd never seen one until I saw your half top...

yeah, rocks and fiberglass DONT mix...then again, if rocks are rubbing on top of my hood, I prolly have more problems than replacing a body panel. Avalanche or rolling...either way.
