    I've been wondering about them too. I found this one on US Autobody's site. Looks like it fits pretty good but it isn't cheap. I have seen pictures of other manufactures hoods that look like hell. Hopefully this thread gets some first hand input.

    Do a search on US Body.TOTAL CRAP!!! If that red maverick in the pic has a US Body hood on it,more than likely it recieved about 20 hours worth of work,before it was ready for paint!

    Since I usually deal with 60s Fords, I've bought several fiberglass hoods from Charles Crites in Ohio. Every one of them needed work before paint but I feel that's expected with fiberglass parts....but he doesn't make Maverick hoods. Maybe if enough people expressed an interest to him, he might consider making a few. His prices are fair on his stuff.
