Fiberglass hood mods... crazy?

"I had a lift off hood from VFN on my Dart, it was light weight and easy to lift off. I only had four pins on it and never had any problems. The hood I have on my Fish is from US Body Source and it is noticeably heavier."

Well, I don't want "heavy." This stock hood is a back-breaker to remove or install by yourtself. I am looking for something that will blow away if I don't put a brick on it, when it's off the car....

But, I realize that unless I opt for a carbon-fiber piece, I'll have to compromize... I'll need a certain amount of "structural rigidity" and "integrity."

I don't know how to contact "VFN." Or, what the acronym means, if anything.


"One thing I was going to do but never got around to was to drill another hole in the rear pins so I could move the pins down for normal driving to keep the hood from rising."

Excellent idea..... thanks!!!:cheers:

I'll let you know when I get this aerodynamic Frankenstein operational. Might not do a thing for the car, but it gives an old man something to play with... :love7:
