These guys make lexan hoods for jeeps. I think they should make them for chevy pickups. If you're interested EMAIL them and maybe we can get them interested. They would have to spend at least 10 grand for them to get started. I have been talking to them about this subject. See the pictures !!! Weight.....10 pounds.

yes or no?

P.S. I want one for an 83...

Restrorob · 04-08-2011, 12:03 PM

I'll pass, Couldn't imagine try'n to keep something like that clean and streak free....

Sorry - Had to LOL at that one!

No one wants to see my ugly TBI motor either.

maxxxy · 04-08-2011, 12:32 PM

It would be cool for about a week, but then all the extra work to keep everything clean would take over the cool factor. Not for a DD.

But I think because it only weighs 10 pounds, you could paint it and use it in a race application.

Hoods like that belong on custom cars and that's it imo. I think of grease lighting from grease when i see that hood.

Johnny Too Bad · 04-08-2011, 02:07 PM

I'm gonna pass ... not really the look I'm going for.

79bonanza · 04-08-2011, 04:40 PM

1LowToy · 04-08-2011, 08:01 PM

Yeah!

I wanna see my spark plug wires shorting out and be sure the guy at Wally World put the oil cap on my I6.

Not really that practical, but if your a showoff go for it.
