?Lighter than stock hood?
 
Who makes a lighter than stock bolt on hood? What does the stock hood weigh?

Thanks

About 30 lbs and the you can save about 10 with a stock CE hood

Its based on the 4th gen f-body extended sonoco style hood.

I had to twist Armondo's arm to do this hood. I sent him dimensions and measurements to build it.
Supposedly, I'm getting one of the first ones.....pin-on 3 weeks out and bolt on 4 weeks out.

I know Rebird has one on order also......should clear Hi-Ram with 4" tube over the rad !!!
