If you can get me a hood for me to make a mold of, Ive got a guy who's been fabricating one-offs for me in Carbon Fiber.

I had found mine used on the forum, and got it shipped to the border. I am pretty sure it went greyhound but that was a couple of yrs ago.

That's actually a super reasonable price...assuming the quality is at least half decent. Does he make the skin & bracing for that price?

I'd imagine quality to be top notch considering he crafted row boats for Olympic teams and. The hood would be completed as fully functional so I would assume there to be some sort of bracing.

You do realize stocking expensive aftermarket parts expensive parts for 20 year old, low production cars probably isn't a winning business proposition - one way or another, you'll be looking at having it shipped in - whether you order yourself, or have a business do it for you. Unless you go with a local fabricator, like DaoNhatHai suggests.

He was simply stating the obvious and most cost effective route...

You're welcome, and thanks for being an @$$hole. You received several replies, but still seem to be expecting someone to supply you with the name of somewhere you can just drive up and buy one. It's not likely to be an on-the-shelf part - deal with reality.
