Thanks for asking how we're doing.
We worked a lot in the past weeks (unfortunatly not full time since we have other full time jobs) and I must say we progressed a lot. We fabricated a heavy-duty (stiff) adjustable table to work the hood and mold to be as straight as possible which we feel is the most important thing for the hoods to fit as good as possible.
Then we modified a stock hood to make the mold over it. We had to make smoother edges and the scoop itself. There's a lot of work involved, more than most people think there is. We want quality first so we have to work more on the details.
We hope to have the 99-00 hood ready for april then the 01-03 will follow-up closely and hopefully it will take less time to develop than the 99-00.
Oh, and as soon as the fiberglass hood is up to our expectations, we are going to make a carbon fiber one in order to offer it as an upgrade over the fiberglass hood.

Thanks for the great comments! Really appreciated!
We do not have a price yet as we are currently making the mold. As soon as the mold is ready to work, we are going to make a hood and estimate the asking price. We are hoping to have competitive prices since we do not rely on the hoods to make a living and because we have no rent to pay... for now.
About that extractor hood scoop, do you have a good pic of that scoop? We are continously looking for new styles for our future hoods and projects.
Thanks!
