    Has anyone used a hood on a fiberglass T bucket? I have a Speedway body and am looking for a hood that will fit it. It appears that an original hood is shaped a bit differently then the body's firewall. Pics would be great too!

    A stock firewall has a lip that sticks forward and out to carry the hood.
    Not part of most smoothed off glass bodies.

    I know it will take some work to get a hood to fit, but I am hoping to find one that is at least the right shape.

    Check out rootliebs.com. Got around to punching louvers in a solid 28-29 hood top I bought from them at least 10 years ago
