drodg Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 When I had an AAR back in about 2000 I remember something like that. Mine was bowed a bit on the left side but it wasn't terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubbs Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I vividly recall see a short video clip about four years ago where it mentioned the proper way to open the AAR Cuda hood so it would not bow or gap. Unlike traditional metal hoods the AAR`'s fiberglass hood wasn't strong enough to withstand the traditional method of grabbing the front leading edge of the hood and lifting it up. The trick was to released the hood latch and PLACE YOUR HAND INSIDE THE HOOD SCOOP OPENING PALM SIDE UP. With the palm of your hand firmly resting against the underside of the hood lift up with that hand. Closing of the hood should be excuted in the same manner. The moderator said that this method was the only way to keep it from warping/bowing. He went on to say that you could open the hood it the traditional manner but eventually repeated improper opening and closing would cause the fiberglass to bend or warp. I`ll look around to see if I can resurrect that video clip...for some reason I keep thinking I saw it on the AAR Registry site. check about 1/2 way down on this page. http://www.members.shaw.ca/aarcuda/aarfaq.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afx Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) I know this is an old thread but does anyone have information about how to order one of these kits or if they were ever produced? Edited March 15, 2017 by afx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
