Making it shake, flap, flex, and sound like a Cavalier hood.
When they (Class Glass) weighed the hood they used for the mold they got 44#s as I remember
The new street weight hood, like the one on my car weighs, (according to Class Glass) 19.5#s!
It feels VERY light!
When I get the chance I'll bring my digital scale down to them and weigh my old Claret hood and the next street weight black fiberglass one.
The street weight hood has TWO layers of 2oz fiberglass for the hood surface, and TWO layers to make the underhood bracing, and 4 layers where the "nutzerts" go.
BTW, a single layer lift off race weight one will weigh about 10-11#s.
The race weight hood will have one layer of 2oz fiberglass, and 1 layer of 6oz backing where the MANDATORY hood pins go.
More later.
