I see folks have had good luck with GlassTek fiberglass hoods so I will call them tomorrow.

Has anyone used UP22.com? They seem to have several Pontiac related items but I don't find anything on them when I search for UP22.


Thanks in advance!

FYI that up22 has listed on their site they are "Unlimited Products"

Any buyer feedback on these guys?

My advice,do a search,this topic has come up in the past.

I dont think I've ever heard a single good thing said about unlimited products parts or they're service.

Do a search over @ YB.com too if you want more info & opinions.

My prefered brand for fiberglass stuff is glasstek.

I have a glasstek 1 piece FE,5" cowl hood,and decklid,on my '70 Lemans/GTO racecar,all very nice pieces.

With VFN being my next choice after that.

HTH Joe.

Thanks Bret. I called unlimited and they were eager to get off the phone so I let them go. I've seen good replies about GlassTek - if I order one right away I'll go with them. I may just use my factory hood a little longer. I really don't need a 5" cowl but if I order one it will be from GlassTek.

Biggest pile of crap there ever was. How they are still in busness is beyond me. Bought 2 69 firebird doors from them & were so bad I couldn't use them. They would not take them back so I took them to the dump & wrote it all off as a loss

joe i have not used one of their pontiac hoods, but i called em and ordered a new L-88 hood scoop for m z-28 it came in just now and its fine fits as good as any i ever had, i used one of their hoods on a 71 z years ago, and the difference is even in their bolt on quality hoods they use much less glass than vfn, they street parts are very light wieght, compared to vfns, i put a vfn 69 ta hood on my orange bird 10 years ago, and it was heavier than the factory 350 hood i took off, so real good quality! i just put a harwood 4 inch cowl on a 68 bird and its heavy to, it actually had a fully smoothed underside real good quality,

[JoePapa]

Wow, thanks for the feedback guys. I think I'm going to steer clear of them and try GlassTek if I can't get a Super400 hood.

A friend forwarded me this link:

Doesn't look like someone I want to risk it with.

I'd be willing to bet $$ UP does'nt even make a lotta the individual scoops they sell.

So yeah,the quality on some of those may well be OK.

But I could easily be wrong on that deal...

What I was refering to is the fact that their full body panels (hoods,decklids,FE,doors,etc.) have a horrible rep in this hobby.



Also agree Harwood makes some nice stuff,but they dont make hardly anything for our older pontiacs,mostly just the late model stuff,or the common stuff between a pontiac and the chevy stuff,and throw in some misc. ford stuff to boot,so they're mostly just after the "low hanging fruit" of the fiberglass customer tree.

HTH
