I have a pair of fiberglass fenders and read someone on here that u cant use a steel hood on them. I was wondering if this is true? also wanted to know if anyone knows a place to purchase brackets that would connect the fenders to the inner wells.

Do the fenders have the inside panel where the stock hood hinges bolt to? If so I'd say yes you can bolt the hood to the hinges and then to the fenders.........but I wouldn't use the stock hood hinge springs as they are probably to stiff to be mounted on fiberglass.
I'm just guessing here but can you cut the factory fender inside pieces and mount them on your fiberglass fenders?

If you can sell them do so, it really gets to be a hassel with a all glass frontend.
