T/A Hood

[Fireman Dan]

Now that AAR Fiberglass/stinger Fiberglass is out of business who makes a great quality hood for the TA? I found a place near Chicago but they actually have the front of the snorkel Fiberglassed down to the hood. What about the place in El Paso? Anybody seen their hoods?
Anybody have an AAR Fiberglass TA hood for sale?

I didn't know anyone in El Paso was doing hoods. I live about an hour and a half from there and go there fairly oftenn. If you get me an address I can check them out next time I'm over there.

The pictures look good but I know they can be deceiving. This is for a tribute car so accuracy isn’t paramount but I do want it to be nice.

I didn’t know Stinger was out.
Too bad because the really made good reinforced hoods and probably more.

Try these guys. I've bought scoops, bumpers and some bumper brackets. I'm happy with them. They will need the normal prep work.

I will definitely check out unlimited. I was hoping for a more finished unit but at least I have some options. AAR became Stinger. I tried to contact them last fall only to find out they closed last May.
Heminut; let me know if you get by El Paso and what you think of their product.

The scoop I bought, I had to cut out the nostrils. The bumper will need some sanding before paint. Pretty typical fiberglass parts.

Not sure how quick I'll be back over there, but I will definitely check them out and let you know.

No big hurry. The car’s still on dollies with rallye hood installed.

I just did a google maps search on the address. That address is a high end residence, definitely NOT a business establishment. I'm guessing the proprietor is basically a reshipper and getting his stock from some other place, probably dropships from his supplier.

 

[Fireman Dan]

Thanks for the research

 

[Xcudame]

Give Unlimited a try. Call them first if you have any questions.

 

[Spyder]

Fireman, did you ever look into this? I'd like to put a T/A hood on mine also, not many options out there.

 

[Fireman Dan]

No I didn’t. I kinda lost interest when I kept seeing what I thought were lesser quality hoods and I already had my RT hood painted. There are some original nice TA hoods out there but I feel they ought to go towards restoration of actual TA’s

Thanks Dan, I still want to find one some day and agree, I'd rather leave originals for real restorations and not my cobbled together monstrosity. I'm fine with my flat hood for as long as I need to be, just wish I had a little more clearance under it.

Interesting that they do that little in sales. That place looks awful nice, wonder what other businesses he's running.
