70-72 GS Hood?

Does anyone make a repro of the GS hood? I'd imagine it would be fiberglass. I'd sure be interested in one. Does anyone know anything about the hood scoops that poston sells? can use them to convert a non-GS hood? Thanks

 

Original Parts Group makes a fiberglass hood

Boy....it must be getting cold down in Florida too, huh?!:eek2:

 

ou: Must be !!!!!!!! Fla don't have mountains like that !! But they sure look ...........ou: :Brow: :TU:

 

do you think that the fiberglass front fenders would look terrible on a GS that you would use for street use? would anyone know that they were fiberglass (if they did not touch them)? with no one making steel replacements, i wonder if this would be a logical alternative.

I have had My VFN fiberglass bolt on GS hood on my 72 since 99. It was daily driven. I have a one issue with the VFN hood. Here is the problem I have had. The hood Latch mounting area is raw fiberglass. With time the hood shakes and the metal latch will cut through the fiberglass and it will pop up when driving unexpectedly and catch the second latch (safety catch). I had to install metal covers over the top of the fiberglass lips (both sides) to insure it would not happen again. Other than that propblem it has been a nice hood, :TU:

 

:Comp: I have a fiberglass hood ....70 -72 GS with the tach hole it can be had for 350.00 plus shipping . Hinge type and yep it is new !

I have heard lots of good things about those US Body hoods.

 

I have bought 3 US Body hoods. No problems. Will require some trimming and/or filing for a perfect fit. I went to their factory and they make all kinds of glass parts. When installing a GS glass hood, make sure you install lighter hinge springs. I like to use 75-79 Jeep Wagoneer springs. They look like stock and work great. As for the hood latch set-up, cut out the factory steel set-up from a junk Skylark hood and bolt into the glass hood. Very easy to do.

 

I didn't know?

I did not realize that a 1969 hood was offered. I liked the T's too!

 

Do any of these hoods have the strip molded on that a '72 has on the nose or a place to attach one? None of the pictures look like they do but I can't tell for sure. Thanks

 

Just wanted to bump this thread up for any more info people have on fiberglass GS hoods/fenders.

 

Wow, a 5-year bump!! :shock:

 

There is a more recent thread here posted by ThePartsPlace that they wanted to aquire a steel hood for measurements to make a repro... But I havent seen it in a while.

 

i stopped at The Parts Place on the way to the gs Nats and talked to Shane, he has no word on date availability on the repo hoods yet. i would imagine when there ready he'll post it here....i did not know so much fiberglass stuff was available,
cheers, gord
