Hoods for the FB

Does anyone stateside make hoods for the FB? Or at least sell hoods? I might be in the market during the winter since mine has some rust in the support frame.

I was just throwing in a different option. If you are talking about Fibremaz, he does excellent work, but I'm not particularly hip on the whole carbon fiber thing, especially on old cars.

Me either. I like carbon fiber as a material, but I couldn't stand not having it painted.

Not of that exact hood in CF. I really need to sell the f/glass hood to afford materials to start CF hoods...
There's still only a few FB's with CF hoods (US made) getting round over there.

Will have on car pics of hood in picture up soon


*note grey hood in pic is Aussie made*

do you have any of the plain FB CF hoods in the US waiting for a purchaser, or are they produced on a per-order basis? The structural section is the factory FB metal piece isn't it (i can't remember if that was what you said)?

I like that its subtle enough and its design is "era specific" in a way...
