it is..

Was looking for a fibreglass one ideally....

I'm curious how much weight could be lost from a standard one with a hole cutter

You could always lay up some fibreglass on the hood to get the shape, then separate the hood frame and skin, allowing you to to apply the fibreglass skin to the steel frame

How to post pics: When writing a message, scroll down and use the "attach file" option. Where possible, a photo sharing service can be used such as Flickr, Imgur etc. The image location (usually ending in .jpg) can be copy and pasted between the ][ brackets that appear when you click the 'Img' button (you can find this button at the top of the message box).

How to post youtube vids: Click on the 'youtubeHD' button at the top of the message box and in the middle of the ][ brackets that just appeared, copy and paste everything from the youtube web address that appears after the = sign i.e if this is the url: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2cNqaPSHv0 just copy "K2cNqaPSHv0").

Yeah, but that takes, time, effort, fibreglass, space, skill... all stuff I don't have..
i don't think you'd gain much by changing the skin, I think the weight is in all the inside structure, double and treble layers of thick steel..

I cut an original bonnet skin off and fitted a fibreglass cowl hood skin to the original frame on my 79 Z28.
Wasn't to bad a job to do!!!!

As you say there is a lot of weight still in the frame though.

Even managed to use the original catch and hinges and springs.

Harwood make complete fibreglass hoods that are a bolt on, I am sure somewhere like Summit Racing might do these and list the weight saving.
Also I am sure somebody will be doing carbon fibre hoods by now ... If you want to spend that much.
