6Pak Scoop or Complete Fiberglass 6Pak Hood?

[Plum6Pak]

I know there are not too many B body owners here but there's still a lot of experience! I'm trying to decide which to buy, the whole hood is 500.00 and the scoops are around 120.00. This is going on a 70 Satellite 500 cid 6Pak Stroker. I have a very good original hood and am very reluctant to cut it. I'm not sure how good these fiberglass hoods are, the particular one I found is from www.USbody.com Anyone ever installed the 6Pak scoop in a steel hood? Anyone ever purchased the heavy duty fiberglass hoods that bolt in? Need help deciding if the fiberglass hoods are worth the money or if a scoop is the best option. All of your comments are very welcome!!

I have installed scoops on steel hoods , it is a ton of work & generally sooner or later will crack

I bonded a scoop on my `69`s steel hood using a two part structural adhesive used to repair fiberglass on semis but I`ll have to wait a year or two and see how well it holds up.I would find a good quailty fiberglass hood,the only reason I didn`t was to save some dough as I`ll be selling the car eventually.

Thanks CP & Torred, that's good info, it'd be nice to see if anyone has bought anything from this USbody.com, I'd like to see what type of quality they are putting out on these hoods. They look pretty good in the pictures but it's nice to hear from someone who has actually used one of these. For 500 plus shipping it better be a quality product. Leaning that way but want to check into it a bit more. I can only find the one place who is selling these so far, anyone know any other suppliers for the 70 Satellite / Roadrunner hoods? I would even consider the lift off style if available.

 I'd go with the fiberglass hood, but I've heard some complaints about the quality of USbody source, on other forums, but I've never bought from them.
