Viper Hood Repairs - what to use?

[Tomer]

My new 96 Viper was hit in a parking lot, and has a chip
out of the hood about the size of a quarter dollar. Does anyone know what the hood is made of? Is it standard fiberglass? I have a friendly body shop who can fix it for ~700 and they figure they can just use fiberglass as they would on an older vette?

Please advise if there is some special compound of some sort needed.

thanks
Tomer..

I believe the hood is some sort of special composite maerial like the space shuttle..

You might want to ask NASA on what they use to remove dings on the shuttle..

BTW I have no idea.. just thought I would reply..

Good luck..

The wierd smell associated with new Vipers is caused by the melting of a rubber compound that can be found surrounding two large oval shaped shiny things on the back of the Viper.
