Reply to "Fiberglass hoods"

The problem with the polyester/fiberglass hoods is that the shape starts out curved and naturally wants to keep curving inward. I always wondered if a carbon fiber/epoxy Pantera hood would hold its shape better. Carbon fiber can get pricey though... Epoxy can hold its shape very well and of course the lightweightness of the hood is awesome.

I don't have access to the Pantera molds anymore, but it would be interesting to check out.

I thought the truckload of molds that Larry Stock purchased were Long & Newman? He is now making CF hoods and decklids and they are apparently selling faster than his guy can churn them out.
