Hey Dave If you get a chance visit my works website. www.allisonscustoms.com and look in our products list. We do all of hoods as a two piece construction. It also gives you a look at how our parts look out of the mold with gel coat. There is also a video on there of how we lay up a 57 chevy hood.


I go to Truck-ins. How about you?
