Default Finding a HOOD!

Hey Everyone,
I am now without a hood, not by choice
Does anyone know a good site to get a supersport hood for an 86, I would get the same as my previous; but it's on back order..
Thanks

I bought this same exact hood from this company for my father's 1983 Camaro Z28. We are very happy with it.

Thank you
That's the same hood that I had bought, and I just purchased the same one about 2 weeks ago. When the hood arrived, it was damaged; and now the new ones are on back order until Oct. 6. I was just hoping to find another company that sells a similar hood.
Thanks

I had never seen that Young's site before. Thanks for the great tip.

Has anyone used the hood struts for steel hoods on the factory fiberglass hoods? Do they work or do they stress the hood when lowering it?

Metal hood struts will "work" but I recommend purchasing aftermarket fiberglass hood struts. There like 20 dollars and won't put so much pressure opening and closing the hood. I got mine from my local advanced.

And I just decided to wait for Extreme dimensions to restock, cause I was really satisfied with the hood the first time. Thanks guys
