Group Purchase Requests - lift off fiberglass hoods

any of the sponsors carry a line of fiberglass or CF lift off ram air hoods? I know Glasstek makes them but can't find a web site.

Here is another company that makes lightweight hoods, based in Chicago area.

PSJ is supposed to be working out a custom hood design with them for both of our Formulas. Might take a few months though.

They sell the Glasstek 4" Cowl hoods, and If they can get those then they can probably get the one you want too.
I got a Pro5.0 shifter for a 5 speed 3rd gen Camaro through them because I like to only deal with them. They dont advertise one for a 5-speed on their site or have any in stock but because they sell that "brand" they were able to get it for me. Just an idea.

I could never find a Glasstek website either....

They just came out with a ws6 style hood...if that was the ramair you were talking about.

Give Tom or Larry a call.

JAVA,
I remember Angie at THUNDER RACING had a GP going on last year with several brand names of hoods. I think Glastek was one of them. Good luck. Maybe another GP?

thanks guys, what sponsors are set up with Glasstek? Perhaps we could get a GP or at least use my moderators discount <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Glasstek is not too far from my house.
I went down there today,ordered a pin on 4"cowl hood.
It will be ready in 3 days.(VFN said 5 weeks).
If you're going to have it shipped,get it though Speed Inc.
I didn't save any money getting it direct,It was a time/convenience thing. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Id be in for a GP if we could get one going... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I would like a ram air style lift off hood .... I know some of the sponsors carry this. If not a GP what is the normal pricing?

VFN sells a lift off stock looking hood that weighs 12 pounds and is only 250 bucks!!
Be sure you tell them you want a STOCK bodystyle hood and not the hood for their complete body kit.
Cheers,
Chris

Jon, how much does the Glasstek hood weigh?

I'll get back to you soon with the weight.

Jon

thanks, if I remember correctly they make a lift off hood, about 13 pounds for around $300

Sent you an e-mail

thanks for the information, really not that light weight is it? 40 lbs. I thought they made a different version LOL <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Tom might have thought I was talking about shipping weight. But we are talking about the WS6 Style. Let me do more research.

Jon

ok great!! I thought they made a WS6 style lift off hood, weighed something like 12 pounds. Thanks for checking
