Front Hoods..The fibreglass front hoods I have made are so good they obsolite any othere hood out there.. If your steel hood has any rust or bubbles at all do not even try to fix it,, the cost wioll be twice the cost of a new.. drop on front hood. they are reinforced with alu. braces in all the spots where parts srew oin and the 3 mounting hole brakets are ajustable and treaded for 8mm bolts already..Wires for nav. light are also installeed in it.
All you do is bolt on, Ajust to best fit. then give the deck a fast board sand to smooth out ant highs and lows prime and paint.
reg. $595 on sale now for $550... I even have 1 in NH, ready for pick up
or can take them with me to Florida and meet you there(or on way)

Rear hoods.. They are much more complex to make. the bigest problem being, the cutting of the louvers.the 1st mould I had made is starting to show some wear, I am thinking of making a new one but not unless I get some orders..
They are going to be in the $1000 to 1200 range for a finished drop on hood.To do these I have to leave a Amphicar body at the Frbreglass shop as they must be put together(bottom and top) and glassed up on the car.

Hey Gord! I was thinking again about Your engine covers. How about making a steel guide that could be used to make cutting louvers out much easier. You could send out with a big deposit so it would be returned. Hopefully see You in Mt.Dora
