  Thanks for the info guys you have been very much help! I sent Larry my
  question on his web site contact form, so there might be a problem with it
  if he didn't get it?
   Larry has been in contact with me through this email forum so Anyways. I
  building a 572 Max Wedge motor for my car and I don't really want to cut up
  the original hood for the car in case something happens down the road. I'll
  be running  eddy max wedge Victor heads and MW victor intake which is pretty
  high on a 440 world block. Can anyone tell me how much height there is in
  the scoop part? And could you have one hinged like stock steel hoods? I'd
  also be interested in seeing pictures of the 62 MW hood ?

  Hey Steve, you said go with Kramer pieces???? I don't quite understand what
  you mean??? Can you elaborate for me??

  Thanks 
  Tim

  Tim,
  I have one, it's definitely a race-weight piece.  Most of the Sled
  City hoods I've seen have the entire area beneath the scoop open so you
  either have to build a large plenum or make a false bottom to match what you
  have.  Their parts are dimensionally accurate, and most molds for the parts
  I've seen have been taken directly from vintage parts. 

  Watch out for Unlimited Products parts - we just placed an order for
  a brand X car we sponsor and ordered a '64 hood and scoop to see how they
  looked (they were real inexpensive).  The hood is a bolt-on, and although I
  haven't had it on a scale yet, I'm guessing it outweighs the steel hood.
  The scoop is about a 3/4 size replica - it looks utterly ridiculous.  I
  don't know why anybody would even take the time to make a mold for something
  that's not even close to the original.  I may return it depending on
  shipping cost.  In their defense, the dimensions are listed on their website
  - I should have double checked.  As always, buyer beware.

  Back to Sled City, if you're looking for parts you can take out of
  the box and paint, go with Kramer pieces.  Nice stuff.  The Sled City stuff
  is definitely made to be light and requires some fitting and finishing.  But
  where else can you buy a fiberglass '62 Plymouth tailgate??  I have a set of
  their '64 Plymouth fenders that had the holes taped over before making the
  mold.  My initial thought was "now I have to either drill out the holes or
  sand down the tape impressions", but in fact the same fender allows you to
  use it on a Savoy with a little sanding or the holes are precisely marked
  out for a Fury.  The door edges definately need final fitting but no worse
  than I've seen from other manufacturers.  They have also been improving the
  mounting on their stand-alone hood scoops, and have the OE size as well as
  the monster A/FX versions.

  Larry owns Sled City as well as a construction company, so he can be
  a little hard to reach.  Keep trying.

  VFN has scoops available at a reasonable price (just over $100) but
  I don't know anybody else who makes a '62 hood.  I'll be ordering some VFN
  stuff in the next couple weeks and will report back to the group.

  SC
