Fiberglass hood for a '64 Valiant?

[ImperialCruiser]

Does anyone make a fiberglass hood for a 64-65 Valiant or Barracuda? Any info would be appreciated. Merry Christmas to all.

The '64 Valiant hood is different from the '64 Barracuda IIRC because the body of the Barracuda takes after a '65 Valiant, not so much the '64 Valiant.

I knew the fenders are different (the revers crease is tighter but still bolts up) than the Valiant but did not know the hood was different. How?

I'm not sure. I could be wrong, but I don't think the hood release was built into the hood emblem like it is on the Barracuda and '65 Valiant.

I dont know, brother. They look pretty close to me. The hood latch might be different, grant you that. I like the chrome spine piece.

I think it's just a flat emblem on the '64 Valiant. '64 Barracudas had the latche hidden up in the emblem

The fiberglass hood isnt going to have the hood latch provision anyway so I think he is safe. I remember seeing an entire front tilt up in fiberglass somewhere too.

I think you're right. Other than that, it looks the same. And you can always drill the hole for the latch, if the fiberglass hood has a place to mount the latch.
