Looking at getting a glass hood. What is the preference out there? VFN? Glasstek? Other?
Thanks, John

I have a Glasstek on my Monte Carlo, and it fit great and is built well.

Thank you for all the input! Between here and other forums, it appears most people who bought VFN seem happy, but it seems everybody is happy who bought Glasstek. I think I'll go Glasstek, hope it doesn't reject my VFN scoop!
Is the price point and the delivery dates the same?
With your performance level you’re probably going with the lift off Hood correct……….?
I know there’s a leadtime on these parts now but Glasstek. has advertised right now a Bolt on for better than $100 off……. Here you go…..In stock/discounted and ready to go!

VFN here! Read Glasstech disclaimer before ordering!
………HUH…….I didn’t see that…….
I was going to order a 62 flat hood and a super duty extra large scoop for my white lightning race car, The hood was 525.00 for a pin on, 180.00 for the scoop. There is a 30 day wait for the hood. Then she told me that with tax handling and shipping to a hub near me would be 1185.00. 
the parts are 705.00. That's just bull shit!!! I'm looking some place else!

We installed GlassTek hood and deck lid on Wully Bully II when it was built 24 years ago. Fit was great, never had any issues with them since. The hood on Wully Bully was from Aeroglass, they went out of business. That hood was repaired several times due to delamination. Carl used VFN on the Chevy II when he built that, had no issues with their parts either.

Lots of great info here, thanks! VFN wanted $400 to ship bumpers, I realize they are big but sheesh! Haven't checked on hood freight yet.

I was actually thinking bolt on. Even glass it would be hard to take off alone as its big. Figured lose springs, but use hinges and prop rod.
One man job to take off pinned hood on mine. When I went to fglass, never thought about hinges. No problems. If friends are around, I use 2 , but not necessary.
