AAR fiberglass hood issues ...

I didn't mean an incorrect model.........I meant an incorrect molding.......

AAR is a company we've gotten many pieces from, and the quality is generally good.....BUT, the process, especially when the actual "mold" is on it's last legs (they don't last forever), is not perfect.

My statement about AAR hoods never being flat refers to the AAR Cuda hoods, not AAR Fiberglass Co.........that was just the nature of the beast........they always had a 1/4" or better inverted "ski" to them...........Sometimes a trailer frame will be welded with a "ski" in it to compensate for weight factors when constructed.........If the AAR Co. uses this theory for your particular hood, it could have the bows in it directly out of the box, BUT it doesn't seem that it would be a half-inch........That's nasty.

I received a gull-wing door once for a custom van conversion that was SO out of level, it was actually 1" concave dead center.........That door was removed from the mold too soon, and I got stuck with it due to the massive freight charges...........

I hope you can do better with the hood...........Maybe it will settle with some weight and heat........just be careful not to overdo it........ Good Luck. 8)
