Autofab hood?

So the seller swears he bought this from The Hickey shop years ago. It’s different from any eagle ventures hood I’ve seen and I’ve never seen the autofab from the bottom side. Opinions? I requested pics from autofab. Wasn’t there another maker named us body panel or something?

That is an interesting looking hood! I can't wait to see it installed on something.

I've seen that hood before. I wish I could remember where.

Re: Autofab hood?

That is not an "Eagle Ventures" hood, most commonly referred to as a Hickey hood. The biggest give away is that there are no mounting points for the stock hood hinges and hood latch mechanism. My stock hood hinges and hood latch bolted right to my Eagle Ventures hood. That hood is meant to be secured with four hood pins.
