TRE Backdate '65-73 Hood
TRE Backdate '65-73 Hood
FOR RACE CAR OR BUDGET BUILDS:
The fiberglass back date hoods do NOT fit all cars well. There have been gap problems that would require many hours to rectify. For this reason we do NOT warranty fit and finish. This is a non returnable part
How do you convert your 74-94 model's front end to the early hood? One method is to cut the chassis and weld in the earlier components. Though this can be considered the "right way", it is also expensive and time consuming.
We propose another "right way" with our back date hood offering. With the under structure of the later model 74-94 mated to the outer skin of a early long hood, you can easily backdate your car without any cutting or welding. The hood utilizes your original latches and hood seal.
Our high quality molding has the original mounting points for the hinges and front latch. Our most popular one is constructed using foam core techniques. This version maintains stability, lightweight, and strength.
The balsa version features translucent inner frame and balsa wood strips to emulate the factory racers in period. Note that this is actually heavier than the foam core unit, but the general look is "period correct" .
Carbon fiber based hoods are made to pre paid order only. These are not meant for being exposed as an aesthetic look. Clients have painted them with a clear UV coating, but the wet based construction lay up of the carbon cloth is not even like other cars’ carbon parts you may have seen.
NOTE: Limited availability STEEL back date hoods. We have an expert metal craftsman modify the 74-89 hood with a steel reinforced early car curved extension. As with the fiberglass versions, you don’t need to modify the front trunk panel and latch assembly. Cost subject to availability of hoods that will be modified. If you can supply your own hood, cost is appropriately less. Please contact us for details on cost and time to fabricate this option
This is a large item. Please contact our staff to process your order and get an estimate for total shipping cost. The cost can vary greatly depending on the size of the order and destination . After placing your order, we will contact you with estimated shipping costs.
