Anyone have any of his CF stuff... hoods... bumpers? He's supposedly retired now just wondering. Some heavy cars want to lose some weight.

DMH Fab is up and coming. I know they are working on molds. PM them. I had heard through the grapevine that some shop that had Ronnie Duke's old molds are making parts but I have no clue the name of the shop. Maybe someone can chime in.

Having seen and helped install DMH CF Door skins, they are light as hell. Look really good and gives ultimately more clearence for the side door bar for the roll cage. Which for larger guys is a plus.

How much lighter would a carbon fiber hood be compared to a fiberglass hood?

shawn zubler has ronnie dukes molds. To my knowledge, he uses synergy composites in canada to make parts...he can make any OEM trans am part in CF.

I believe the guy who owns cynergy in canada worked for Joe Van O. If your looking for the Van O quality that may be your best bet.
