1969 firebird 400
I am looking for a good hood replacement I hear goodmark is really good but would like any suggestions
Thanks

There is only one manufacturer of repop hoods and they are in Taiwan. Sold at various catalog houses

Ahh so if you get it from firebird central / goodmark / classic industries ect
its all the same manufacture ?

I could be wrong but I doubt it. How many hoods could they sell? I can't imagine two or more factories designing the dies and stamping equipment to make these which are pretty complicated to make. It's a safe bet that all the hoods come from the same Taiwan factory. That said, there may be varying quality. Sometimes you see cheap ones on e-bay and I wonder if those were ones the main catalog houses didn't want to sell and wholesaled them off to some e-bay seller. I buy everything I can from Ames. I think that your safest bet to get the best quality stuff.

Copy that with AMES for sure
I may need one I did get a oem actual factory 400 hood for 125 and its in pretty good shape no rust slight bubbles on nose and 3 pings
However except when it closes the underside hits the latch on the right side
( looking from front to rear) this moves the latch to the left before that opening is over the latch
I know terrible description
Its going into a shop next week they will let me know if the hood I got will work or if I will need one
which I will purchase from ames

Buy the OEM one either way, $125 is cheap if it’s strait!

You sure it’s a 400 hood with the scoops? Nice originals go in the $500 range. Non 400 hoods can be had for free. I gave away my nice rust free 326 hood

Thanks
I am getting a re pop from ames
