fiberglass hood source for '64 Valiant????

[Bill Dedman]

I need a lightweight fiberglass hood for a '64 Valiant, but can't seem to find one.

Does anybody even make such an item?

Thanks for any information; looking for a pin-on hood, and a fiberglass front bumper, too.

here ya go Bill, you will have to get the Barracuda hood, as the Valiants are not made.

Thanks for the quick reply, but for $600.00+ I think I can get more e.t. improvement from a complete CalTrac/split uni-leaf fiberglass spring setup.

I don't have an unlimited budget for this ol' tub, and I can add that hood down the road, after the chassis is operational. I'm sure it's a quality piece and worth the money, but this car is cosmetically pretty much a rat, and that kind of expenditure on what is basically cosmetics, isn't appropriate, right now. We've still gota buy forged pistons and rods, and get all the machine work done... But, I really do appreciate the informatiom; maybe later!!!

I totally understand the dilema you are in. The thing I like about these hoods is they are one piece, like the heim scoop. thats the one i'll be getting soon, once i can justify the price.
