A&amp;A in Atlanta? If so that is the company who built the fiberglass flip front end for the D/gas 55 chev my dad and his friends raced in the mid 60's.

What year/style of hood? For Camaro? I bought a Stinger hood for my '68 Acadian a few years back and it was very nice.It came from Chicago-The Parts Place.Also check out Classic Industries.They may have the style of hood you are looking for.Good luck.

A&amp;A manufacturing isn't around anymore.So it must be an old stock hood bought several years back I'm afraid.Sounds like a huge paper chase-good luck with your search.

If you look over it closely, you should find A&amp;A somewhere on the hood- probably in the cowl area. Nova hood I'm guessing? Care to share a pic?

Someone called to tell me my old hood was on Ebay for 5-6 grand. If your inquiring about the Island Teal hood, it was on a 1967 375 hp that was thought to be a Baldwin Motion car. The mileage was in the teens, and the car was painted a metallic brown w/ gold stripe from close to new. The person I got the hood from knew the car from almost new, and it always had this hood. After finally purchasing the car, he found out the car was not a BM, and removed the hood and sold it to me. I had the hood painted, but never used it. I sold my car to the guy in Ohio, whom you purchased the hood from. As you know, it's the better hood from the day, with the under hood forms.
