The W25 Oldsmobile Ram-Air hoods we offer are the same construction as the original GM hoods. Our hoods have a full stamped steel frame with wire mesh screen attached. We are in the process of retooling the molds for the top fiberglass skins and inner scoop box.
Our past hoods were RTM injection molds made of fiberglass and the molds are starting to break down from wear and tear, creating some issues with making a superior part. To resolve the issues we are retooling with an S M C compression mold.
The new molds are be made out of solid steel; previous molds were made out of fiberglass with steel reinforcements. The steel will be CNC machined out for exact tolerances. An original W25 hood has been digitized to produce an exact cad design, top and bottom.
SMC is the exact way GM produces the new Corvette panels. These molds will help us produce the best hoods we have ever produced. The S M C material is cut into patterns and laid into the mold that is attached to 1500 ton press and has veins in the steel to heat molds to 300 degrees. Production of these molds is just under $500,000.00.
