So that gave me a sense that they were a higher quality company than some of those 'cheaper" places that sell on ebay that ONLY turn out hoods from a mold day after day and arent really concerned with quality. With glasstek selling to racers, who are much more critical, lol, i'd feel comfortable buyign from them, plus their prices are very competitive.
I bought mine after seeing a 1969 Firechickek with a 4" cowl on it and of course that car never came with a cowl, but the hood blended so seamlessly from the point up to the cowl I figured if they can make that look good, then for sure the can do a 70 Nova hood. Its a really nice piece and I don't think its really that expensive compared to a bolt on hardwood....I paid $375 plus shipping at the time (5yrs ago) from Vanishing Point Race Cars.
