This probably isn't a good idea for my first post, but I figure since it is the post I found the forum with I would go with it.

I don't see why you would be against going to a Carbon Fiber Hood, it lightens the front end on a car with very bad front/rear weight ratio. They can (from what I know) be painted to be unnoticable vs steel. I think they are a good idea.

If anyone does know where to get one, I would love to know.

I don't know if i would say ricey. On a '66 it saves 29 pounds off the front end, thats a pretty big difference especially since if painted it would be pretty hard to tell the difference look wise.

The 69 hood was much bigger too so should be a bigger weight loss too =)

A true carbon fiber hood is about 8 grand the ones you see on imports are nothing more then a fiberglass hood with a carbon fiber glued on over it.As far as i know they don't make a hood like that for any early mustang.Aluminum heads and intake will cut weight off the front end.
