Doe's anyone make either a whole fiberglass front clip, or at least a good looking fiberglass hood for the 94 to 02 Dodge truck's? I've been looking at a few online and would really like to have one. Doe's any of the Comp D guy's make one, or know where I could get one? Thank's, Gary

Yes they do, but Seth told me that Mr. Smith hand built that one. I doubt that he would make another one. I just thought there might be a commercially built one available. The problem is that when I need to take my hood off it is WAY too heavy for me to do it by myself. Getting old just plain sucksLOL Gary
 
There's a company that makes them, they made a front clip for a truck in cali along with the bed etc, if you can find a company a few guys you could get it done pretty cheap.

I talked to them a few years ago, I'll see if I can dig up the co.

Talk to Dale, there is a body shop in KY that built it for him. I talked the body shop, it was going to be about 15-1800$ for one plus paint, but the cost vs. weight loss was not worth it for me. You only end up saving 50lbs. Now carbon fiber is the route I will take when I decide to do it.
 
Ive been looking for front clips also. I wouldn't do it so much for the weight saving but for how much easier it is to work on stuff

X2!!

Gary, I've looked at a few options, never found anything I liked. If you find something/someone willing to make something, I'd be interested too if you need more than one to get someone interested in making something!

You could save way more than 50#'s, I had a fiberglass builder do a hood that was 11lbs. There's weight to be saved if you go thin and brace and connect it correctly.

These guys only do third gen Dodge. I had one shipped here to me that they said would work. Well when I got it out of the box it was definately a 3rd gen. I think he told me that they destroyed their molds, but if I could get enough interest he might make a few. How mnay of ya are in?

I think you should try the 3rd Gen front chip on the 2nd Gen truck! LOL
 
theres a truck ive seen at events here in texas that has 3rd gen front clip on a 2nd gen. lol


gary, depending on price i might be in.
 
And, while I have all of you here, do you think that Snow Stage 3 would be enough water and methanol for my truck? I'm finding out that Im needing some kind of fluid cooling sysytem. And are they any good, I think I will probably buy one to try unless ya'll think its not a good idea. Hit me with some info please.......WW
 
im sticking to nitrous on my race truck. it had some kind of water meth kit on it when i bought it but i pulled it off. no idea what pump it is but it had a snow tank and a bunch of line and two nozzles. worth $100 to ya? lol

sorry, dad might, but i would not recommend this guy, we thought it would be done and not have much work to do...............wrong, the body shop had to do a bunch of work because this guys mold was not very good. if you want to talk to dad pm me and i will give you his number.
