After market hoods for 60's pick up

Thought some of you on here might get a kick out of this, as you may know there is not a huge amount of suppliers out there for race weight body parts for these 60's chevy trucks, one or two of them are around but on the other side of the states from me. I found a guy near me about 70 miles away, that fabbed a mold for my hood and bumper, i built this hood with a buddy of mine a little over 12 years ago and love it, so this hood is based on what i like and think looks good on these trucks.

My steal hood, hindges, springs and mounting hardware weighs 110 pounds, the new hood which he made od a mixture of carbon and glass weighs 28 pounds and will be held on with zues .

Here is a cpl pics of the hood and bumper. let me know what you guys think. Name of the place is Kantola Composites and is based out of Coca Lolla lake Idaho, his name is Arne and is a fantastic guy to deal with. phone is 208-290-2130
