Default 1974 Pontiac LeMans fiberglass hood

I am looking to put a fiberglass cowl hood on my 1974 lemans. I have looked on multiple sites but haven't been able to find anything for my car. Any suggestions?

This site offers a 2" and 4" cowl both in pin-on and bolt-on configuration. Thought about using them if I couldn't score a Can-Am parts car. http://www.showcars-bodyparts.com/lemansgto.html

I have heard nothing but horrible stories about that company, the Vega/Monza site I am a member of has many horror stories. Buyer beware on Showcars, Just FYI

That sucks this is the first I have seen of fiberglass parts for my car. I was a little leery it was too good to be true. Thanks for the heads up.

The other trouble with showcars is they are in Ontario Canada so even more difficult to get a refund.

FYI a reread a few posts and it seems if they have the part in stock they ship in a reasonable amout of time, but if they don't have the part in stock it can be over a year before you see a part, and the quality has been hit or miss, a couple of people say the part required little or no rework to use, more people said the panel gaps were large and uneven requiring additional professional rework to use.

But they do offer parts for many less popular models
