trouble is with the glass ones is they do tend to crack and separate over time and I dont like that idea....I'd fab one using stock tin and stitch weld it in then smooth out the welds and go from there...seeing some of your work w/ Bad Ast I don't think you'd have a problem with that!

I don't think a well made 'glass hood will have an issue. The hood on my truck has been on there for almost 14 years and there are no issues with cracking or separating.

My plan was to build a metal hood and then have it copied, but if no one is interested, I won't bother.

lets put it this way if its a 1pc glass cowl hood your ok but some folks put the glass cowl on a metal hood and thats where the problems come in unless you know what your doing it can become quite a mess......
