T/A Hood

Postby restoreral » 24 Feb 2005 4:22

Hi All I am a newbie to this forum but not to the challenger especially the T/A model. I am in the fortunate position to have in my shop an original T/A hood to repair. I know the hood to be original as it is off my dads T/A that he has owned since 1971. The car had a mishap recently which damaged the hood. I am considering making molds from this hood which would be 100% correct in every detail both top and bottom including fiberglass grain, fiberglass tape assembly correct airbox offset etc. I have close to 30 years in the auto restoration field with my expertize being fiberglass. I am considering making a reproduction hood that would be exactly the same as the original. I am wondering what kind of interest is out there for such a piece. I know there are reproductions out there but from what i have seen they are not 100% true which is fine if you just like that style hood, but not if you need one that could pass the toughest judges standards for a true original or a genuine clone This would not be the easiest or cheapest hood to produce and with such limited buyers i am attempting to feel out if there is a market there for such a piece. The greater the number I could sell the lower the price I would be able to sell it for. Any interest? What would you be willing to pay? Leave feedback here or contact me @ arussell3@hotmail.com Any input will be greatly appreciated and all emails will be answered. Thanks all Al Russell
