WTB: Crites Performance Mustang Hood

[Chrisss31]

After looking at them for years, I just went on the Crites Performance website to buy a teardrop hood for a 65-66 Mustang.  I see that closed up shop after the owner's passing....  From what I understand, Crites is (was) the only real choice for a quality fiberglass hood, if anyone knows where I could track one down I'd be eternally grateful.  Ctravinski@yahoo.com

Maier Racing used to make teardrops for Mustangs.
Not sure if they still do, but the teardrop on my 68 is a Maier fiberglass hood.
I've had it for a long time.

Thanks Tunnelwedge.  I've read a lot of mixed reviews about Maier's hoods, but it's still an option.

Has anyone had any experience with Artifiberglass products?  They have a diverse line of hoods and such.

Interesting. The one I have is excellent.
Probably one of the nicest body parts on my car. You would have to see my car up close.
I have had it going really fast and it does not shake or flutter.
It's super light and fits great.
I'd have to give it a A+ rating.

Products look decent, since fiberglass is easy to work with a good body shop should be able to make it fit really well.

sorry this is a falcon hood! not mustang.

i dont think this is a crites hood,but price is right.
