Default Where to find complete front clip

Where can i find a complete front clip, such as a 1 piece that flips all together. Im in the process of making a strictly drag c4, and my front bumper and hood need replacing. Any light weight hoods anywhere?

J and D Corvette manufacture fiberglass vette parts. Bellflower Ca. They have a website. I dont know if they will have exactly what you are looking for, but worth a shot.

NHRA starts Feb 5th in my home town. (Winternationals). What do you think about the new 1000 foot finish line for top fuel?

hmmmm....
Interesting. Never thought of that.
Always thought it would be with dzus fasteners like a Super Gas or a Prostock car's front clip.

Maybe ask places like Victory race car fabrication in Hesperia.

Definitely I have seen drag C4's at Pomona, Vegas and Sears Point, but they have been in Stock or Super Street with stock clamshells.

See you guys at the Fairplex.
