I just received my new 65 cowl hood from Glasstek, it is a very quality piece. If you are in the market for a hood, I recommend theirs, skip the Unltd Prod stuff.

The bottom frame looks identical to a steel unit and includes the center mounting plate for the hood latch. The other one didn't, therefore no safety catch and I lost it when I forgot to lock the pins on the corners.

The thickness also is better and the contours match the fender and cowl.

I talked to Glastek today and I am very impressed with what they agreed to do. I told them my Sallee chevrolet "502" was about an inch too tall for the stock hood and I wanted one built to look like a 70 SS cowl hood. I didn't want a 4 inch tall cowl hood. For an extra $80.00 they are going to graft a 2 inch tall 69 Z-28 cowl onto their flat chevelle hood for a custom 1 3/4 inch cowl hood for my 69 SS! They were the only company willing to do custom modifications. I sure hope I like how it looks when its done!

Hey Mike, let me know how it turns out. I might be on the market for one.

Do they have a web page?
Thanks

I just got my 4" cowl hood for my 66 from Glastek, I am very happy with it. Even the underside looks good.

As good as these guys are I sure with they had a web site to promote their products. Chuck Hanson turned me on to them a few years ago when I needed a 4" hood for my 67. I think they're one of the best-fit units out there.

Anyone else reading this thread, give them a call at 630-978-9897.
