    Ordered the hood today. Hopefully it will be ready on Nov 10th when I am already in Columbus, save me about 2hrs drive and $120 in shipping.

    I've run this crites hood for 13 years. Excellent fiberglass and fit. jim_s_64_comet_351_c.jpg

    yah but that's before people found out that less material = more $$ in there pockets

    i bet if you bought the same hood today it would not last as long

    Crites is not that kind of company. Just go ask on the fairlane/galaxie/falcon forums.

    Not yet. I am hoping to pick it up when I am down there (2hrs away) for a meeting on Nov 10. She was kinda funny about me picking it up. I will save $130 in shipping if I can get it then. It takes 3-4 weeks to make, and I ordered it at the 3 1/2 week mark.

    I picked up my hood today. Folks there were very friendly. Looks good to my untrained eye. I will let you know what the body shop says.

    Are the scoops removable? If so id go with a pair of stock ones. I dont like that mesh at all and they dont look like they fit all that well. But the hood looks pretty nice!

    im sure you could cut out those scoops and make stock ones fit if you wanted.

    I've got the steel ones off my old hood.maybe use them or just get some metal mesh and have it cut to fit.
