Whoever is shipping the hood is dragging their feet. I apologize for this taking so long. I really did have this all worked out, just so you all know I'm not blowing smoke. I will keep you updated as soon as I know something. Again, sorry.
-
Such a nice truck, love it.
-
Great news, we finally found a hood!
But, it won't be here until next week. So, still have to wait on pics. Sorry for the delay! -
None yet, they've called a few local salvage yards, still no luck. Damn it...
-
Yep, not looking for SS hoods. All 06/07 have HS hoods which is a plus.
-
Bump, still looking for an 06-07 hood! If anyone knows where one can be located in Central Florida, please message me. We have garnered enough interest that we will officially be putting the hoods into production as soon as we can find an 06 hood for the mold.
-
Nobody in Florida with a spare 06/07 hood lying around? We need one to start production mold!
-
Well, I have no interest in selling them myself. The way I look at it, I'll use them as a reference for later. Only have two more years before I have to start looking for an engineering job.
-
We are trying to locate an 06/07 hood in or around Central FL, if any if you can help then please PM me. Trying to get a decent one for the mold.
-
We were doing some chicken scratch math yesterday. The 06/07 hood is probably 8-10 lbs heavier then the 03/05 hood. We were guessing that the bolt on would weigh around 20-25 lbs. I would say the stock 03/05 hood weighs 45-50 lbs or more. The company making them will weigh it when it's done, and we'll weigh both body style hoods to show the savings.
On the how soon part, I've got a list of around 7 that ready to go now. As soon as the mold is ready (I hope it's by the end of the week) then they should be ready to take orders. I would probably expect 4-6 weeks on them to make it, which seems like a lot but compared to other fiberglass places it's not bad.
But, there are about 15-20 others wanting pictures. So, there is a good chance you could order it a month from now and be ok. If they have enough interest they'll keep the mold in production and sell them to the general public, which is fine with me.
-
It is what it is, I can't expect them to be perfect. I can only go on other things from them I've seen. I'll post pictures when I have them, then you can see for yourselves and make a decision from there.
-
Yes, I will get pictures before hand. I have about 15 guys that are requesting pictures before they commit so I'll put you on the list with them.
This will be a complete fiberglass hood, bolt on or pin on your choice.
Yes they will be Gel Coated.
It is very high quality fiberglass work, Heads Up Composites do most if not all the Outlaw and X275 front ends in hand laid fiberglass. They have a Facebook page, I've seen quite a few pieces in person and they're outstanding.
-
I'll post them as soon as I can get a few. We had looked at a few places to get this done a couple months back, but it never got anywhere. Seems to be really rolling now.

Been talking to Heads Up Composites about making a cowl hood for our trucks. They're on board to produce a fiberglass 4" bolt on or pin on cowl hood for either 03-05 and 06-07. Hoods will be around $450 for a bolt on, $350 for a pin on; we will need at least 5 people to be committed to start the process. We have a few on board on Performance trucks, but it wouldn't hurt to have a few more.
I don't have any pictures as of yet, hope to have a mold done by the end of the week. I will update this thread when the pictures come through.
Again, please post questions and if you're interested here. Thank you.

I'm interested in the truck, is there a number I can call you on?
-
I'm interested in the truck, I'd appreciate if you could pm me a price too. Can you list some of the things done to the truck besides the kenne bell? Do you think the truck could tow still?
EDIT: Found your garage post, no need for the list. Interested though.
-
There is a guy on Facebook trying to do a group buy. Tim ken front hubs for our trucks with 5x4.75 bolt pattern. Will be a bolt on swap, haven't decided which rotor/caliper to use. Tim ken will call him Monday with pricing.
If anyone is interested let me know, I'll update the thread with more info when I have it.

That airbag on the grant wheel would be sexy.

ATTENTION:
According to WBKO Beech Bend Raceway is closed due to a family emergency. Looks like we won't be having nationals. Norcal you heard anything??
-
We're getting close! Forecast is looking great, 73 and partly cloudy which is unusual for KY this time of year. Track should be quick!
-
It's not as bad as you think, it was like $3.
He didn't think I could find it, now he daily drives it lol. It's not as nice as when he owned it but hell, he saved $17k after wrecking it and buying it later. -
Those are sexy...
GLWS.

You can search for contact info through the Clerks office/DMV. I found dad's black crew he ordered new and totalled. Took me two years of googling and found the vin had been reinstated. Went through DMV filled out form and give me address and some info.

There is a guy called "alldaycustoms" on eBay selling aftermarket cladding pieces for reg cabs. Says in description he will sell a whole kit upon request. Hit him up.

Yep, sorry guys. It died. It wasn't for lack of effort or interest, unfortunately I tried four different manufacturer's and nobody would do it. If you find somebody that will, fill free to take over but I couldn't make it happen. Sorry to get your hopes up, maybe some time in the future!
