78 Liquifire Repop Hoods

Post by JoeRainville »

Hi Guys,

Well, thanks to you all, I've sold or traded about 12 reproduction Dator hoods, and about as many 340/s tool boxes, enough to get me out from under the molds.

Since that didnt' turn out too badly, I am thinking of doing another hood due to request from the Comandant of the EHC and a few others.

I have an NOS 78 Liquifire hood that I can send out to have a mold made from. Could even due a thinner, lighter "race" version if requested. Only real problem is that I have yet had the bonded on bracket made to hold the hindge to the hood yet, so you would have to bond on one from a used up 78 hood.

Any takers? Price will probably be about the same as the Dator hoods, in the range of $325 to $350.

Thanks,
-Joe Rainville
