Wondering if any of you guys have used the early A fiberglass hood that VFN sells? They list a bolt on stock fiberglass hood for 300.00 which seems fair to me but the shipping to So. California would probably kill me!
 
Serious? you live in the Car Meca of the world. Dude there has to be a ton of shops that build hoods there.
 
I'm using their pin on version. It is square and fits nicely.

Dude LOL No one in this car meca that I live in builds hoods for EARLY A BODYS. And if they did I doubt if they would build me one for 299.00
 
There was a guy here in Canada on the west coast in BC who had a ton of old muscle car molds. He and his dad made nice stuff. I got my duster hood and scoop from there for $330 Canadian delivered. All the molds are for sale as their health got bad.
 
Yup ! I have one. Weighs 13# with 2 aluminum brackets glassed in for hood hinges, and scoop on it too.

That's a Street Scenes (Summit #950-72121, I think. I can't find the paperwork on it)
But I did have to modify it, to get a look I was looking for. Also too, I eliminated the 'bubble' on the hood, so that it didn't obstruct the scoop opening. Here it is on the original steel hood.
Shipping on the VFN hood was $200 and I had to go to the ABF shipping depot to receive it.
