On the saleen hood the vent's/grilles whatever don't go clean through the hood? They are only decorative?
Of those hoods I'd do the Cali Dream hood

My favorite hood is similar to the CD. It was made by the now defunct California Dream Car and few found their way to ebay but I haven't seen any lately. It was a repro of the 68 GT350 hood and the only thing that comes close now is the Fang Performance Mystery 8 hood. I've contacted Fang Performance about just the hood but have not recieved a reply yet. It's going to be pricey as they want $1695 for hood and front facia. As a point of reference the CD Car hoods were going for under $500 on E-bay.

Im just trying to feel things out so I can get an idea of what to stock, but is anyone interested in purchasing one of these hoods and if so which one? Again I am trying to figure out what to stock and get the final details and pricing on those hoods. thanks
oh and the eleanor hood is done as well, it looks much like the one from Cervinis, Ill get more info and see if I can get a pic or two

Ill be looking at either an eleanor style or Saleen style. I need the underhood room. Pricing will be the deciding factor as well as shipping $$. Im in no rush but thought Id let ya know.

Hi rrobello:
Instead of the GT-500 in fiberglass when we can buy one in aluminum for under $600 from the factory would your friend build one of these.
Dream Car Factory has gone out of business and this copy of a '68 GT-350 hood would be a better choice than the "in production" GT-500 hood.

Unfortunately Dream Car Factory went out of business. There was one person selling some left over stock of these hoods on E-Bay but the last sale was several months ago. I'd sure like to see some intrepid hood builder make another version of this style hood.
