Re: cowl hood

Does anybody make a steel cowl hood or only fiberglass? Is this something I would have to do myself?

Re: cowl hood

Only fiberglass, some companies sell just he cowl section you weld in, or build your own.

Re: cowl hood

From what we've seen and read here on this forum, the fiberglass body parts leave a lot to be desired. What I would do is weld on a steel scoop like one of these....

They offer them in different heights also.

Re: cowl hood

Yep, my brother had one,(FG) and it was so bad he went back and built a steel one.

I'm doing steel since i'm doing a one off.
