WTB SN95 cowl hood

[98stangv6]

Looking for a SN95 cowl hood that uses the factory hinges around 3" or so. Anyone have one laying around before I buy one?

Check with Jesse (Stangman). He may have one.

But it don't look like the hood was hurt to bad!

I had a 4 inch Cincinnati Composites hood years ago that flew up and mangled all kinds of shit but barely chipped the hood. I hate hood pins but I will run them from now on, on any hood I buy.

[Stangman]

Hood pins are a given for a fiberglass hood. Wouldn't run one without em. I was in my buddy's car once years ago and you could just see his hood flexing in the wind without pins. No sir.

The top of the hood just had a few chips, But the Inner structure was busted all to Hell !!!

So should I put pins on the factory fiberglass hood ??? :lol:

[chris91]

I've had two Cervinis hoods now and neither have had pins. Had both cars at triple digits and they looked perfectly fine. If there was any kind of play I would've added some aero catch pins to mine.

[draggin50]

Stock hoods, not so much. They seem to be built a little heavier. It just makes me nervous!

At the rate youre going thru hoods why not! LOL

I believe the factory hoods have larger metal inserts where the hoods latch. Which is why you normally don't need pins.

Had a steel cowl hood fly up on my convertible after leaving work one day. Co-worker thought it would be funny to unpin it. Lucky for me it didn't smash through the windshield. Not sure how it didn't.

Got him back when I "accidentally" set his coveralls on fire and melted his shoes to a railroad track we were cutting.

Did you Stomp a Mudhole in his Face when you found out ???
I'd have been a Little Pissed ...

[facemelter71]

It didn't cause as much damage as I had thought when it happened. I threatened him with a ball peen hammer when I got back to the shop.

[Stangman]

that would have been a sight to see!

The Hood or Facemelter chasing someone with a Ball Peen ??? :LOL:

[Stangman]

the latter! But mostly the coveralls on fire melting the boots to the track!

[98stangv6]

Thanks for the hood Jesse!

[Stangman]

No problem man! Glad you can use it!

[draggin50]

Good deal Jesse! Glad I could help you both out!

[Stangman]

Thanks again Brian!
