Post by: three two barrels on March 25, 2020, 10:11:32 PM
Seller has the mold used to reproduce fiberglass Challenger T/A hoods, hopefully someone buys it and continues to reproduce these awesome hoods.
Seller also selling the mold to reproduce the AAR's hood,

ASC&P made the best repop T/A hoods available.

I was going to buy one years ago but never had the time to go pick it up.

I saw a used one for sale at the NATs last year for $1800.

I hope somebody buys the molds and starts making the hoods again.

The only problem with their hoods is they are way to perfect and smooth.  If they made them like they were chiseled out of hand layed fiberglass sitting around a camp fire drinking beers then they would be perfect.  At one time, they absolutely had the best shaker bubble made, haven't got one from them in years.

I had always heard they are the best. Not necessarily from a concours restoration point of view, but a quality piece.

I got a T/A hood from AAR before they sold to Stinger.  I live 30 minutes from them and owner even painted it with a textured surface, not organisol, but close.
Hood is absolutely perfect, as mentioned the underside is nicer that most vendors topside.
Other issue is they mold there logo near the latch area.
None of the above is an issue for me, but a purist wouldn't approve.
