I have a NACA hood that came on my car. It's rustfree, but has some slight arching from tight hinges.

Would consider replacing it with a race weight 'glass hood. I would be interested in the stock NACA style, or flat one only. Sure would like to shave all of that insane stock weight off. Thoughts include adding support for springless OE hinges, OE style twist locks and retaining the stock latch assembly (with modification for striker).

Has anyone tried this on our cars?

Anybody know where I could go within 2-3 hours of Pittsburgh to check one out, or purchase? A quick search of the usual suppliers didn't list any vendors with one.
