Got the hood today!!!

[TexasBronco]

I just got my Fiberglass hood, I must say I am quite pleased. I bought it form Wild Bill over in the For Sale Parts section. I must say it is nice. I have pictures if you go to the link. It isn't installed but will be by the end of the month.

It is pretty study, but it isn't a rocky roads hood

this is the one from rocky, and where as theres just has a scoop, wine has a scoop on top of the original hood lines. See? It looks like it but isn't

 

[Hnrys69]

I know its not the same Just wondered how that was for flimsyness (if thats a word) I think the bubble on rocky roads looks lame and rumor has it they suck on being flimsy. But I really like the one you got and the protofab one.

That hood looks SWEET !

Yeah there is a built in support running around the edges, and that makes it strong.....I will take a photo after school to show you.

Looks Nice...I wished I would have bought it! :'(

 

[66horse]

Ya man I like that. I like the way they kept the original lines. Rocky Roads is kinda bubbly or too roundish or something. Anyway i like it!

He's selling more than one of them. Some guy lays the fiberglass by hand, so if you order one he can make it.

 

[Wild Bill]

Thanks for the kudos TexasBronco! I'm really glad you like the hood.

All of the parts I sell are hand-laid and hand rolled ensuring a strong durable part. Each hood weighs about 31 lbs. so it easily falls under the specifications of a fiberglass racing part.

Check out my ads that TexasBronco listed above, I would be happy to meet everyone's fiberglass replacement part needs.

Thanks,
Wild Bill

Also keep watching the "for sale" boards; I should have some new products available soon!

Wildbill, who do you use to ship your hoods, i'm looking for a good shipping company for a hood.

 

[broncobsession]

He uses Greyhound bus.

 

[Wild Bill]

Yup, Greyhound PackageXpress.
It's good enuff for Jesse James and West Coast Choppers!!

My first two crates I built were about 4" too big, so I had to take 'em back and rework 'em. Plus when we walk in with a crate that size you can actually feel every sphincter in the room contract. I'm usually told that it will go out on the next bus with available room. So it may take 'em two or three days before they can get it out.

It's the least expensive way I've found to ship a hood, most places I looked into quoted me $160-$300+ to ship a hood. I even had one place quote me a rate of $1400!!!!!! Some of those guys are nuts!!
