Fibreglass hoods
The Hood is great however my biggest request would be fenders.... I don't care about weight, my issue is I am gonna strip my blue rx7 and I have a perfect shell, but I want to eliminate rust... I am going with as much stainless steel hardware as I can, but fenders would be awesome.
See how the hoods turn out, and there's my idea for fenders and even a header panel.

Anything can be made if enough people want it to make the molds viable, read as 5 orders, they will be lighter than stock unless you want extra thick fibreglass.
As for header panel, I'm trying to find an air dam, so we can make a header, bumper, air dam one piece replacement panel.

I have the scoop, probably pick up the parts tomorrow so we can make the TII hood mold, be around 2 weeks before I have a sample. Where does the hood scoop go: half way forward/back or is there a consensus on the scoop locale.

I second the center. Cant wait to see pics. I really wanted a Fiberglass Hood with the TII scoop for the longest time. I was actualy just going to cut it into my steel hood. But Fiber is better.

The hood will be a two piece, it will have a frame based on a reduced FB underside and the skin, it will fit using original fastenings. A bare skin would be available for the hardcore racers. It is taking time to get everything together.
After the hood and sunroof I am talking about doing a stereo console suround without the sereo gap, any interest

How do you like the Looks of the Moulding Stripped Down?
I'm doing a 2 tone paint job this Summer on my 84 and was thinking leaving the paint off the Moulding.
Black Top From Pin Stripe Up.

I spoke to my guy again, he's been busy working his job but assures me there will be progress soon, I'm sorry for the delays guys but for those who hang in there he does good work.

FYI J-man, he's in Austrailia.
I'm slowly working on removing the rats nest. It will be optimal shortly.
Then after that's passed emissions, or not, Pete and I are going to swap in a Street Port Engine I'm working to aquire.
If it doesn't pass I'll use a receipt for the street port engine's shipping as proof I paid to fix my car. Since shipping alone is more than the $200 fix it minimum.
