Kirkham hood on ERA body . . . will it fit?
 
Just a thought: Rather than phoneying up a fiberglass hood with an overlay of aluminum on the underside of the outer panel, why not go all aluminum with the hood? So my question is, will the Kirkham aluminum hood fit the ERA 427 opening and match up to related brackets? Seems like it would be better to invest in a real aluminum hood at the git go. Any thoughts on this . . . has anyone done it?

If you are looking for an aluminum hood I bought one from a guy on the site...I think the address was cobrahardtops.com

Nice hood and great fit...his boss had an ERA and wanted an all aluminum hood....be ready to shell out though...it was $1500 with shipping.

Great. Not a bad price considering the labor involved, assuming the fabricating job was good?

Thanks for the feedback.

Peter has an aluminum at the shop as of a month ago.

Sounds like a good idea. Joe

the fit is pretty good. My body guy said that it would be about a grand to get it looking good....going to have to splash the whole hood to get it smooth..
