    Paul, I posted this somewhere, not sure if it was to you...
    Kirban Performance was the company that was having the fiberglass repos made and sold thru vendors such as Year One.
    http://www.kirbanperformance.com/

    They may be able to give you some leads as to the whereabouts of the molds. Perhaps they could do another run if you could get a group buy together.
    Kirban is a few miles from me if you need someone local to do some leg work.

    i did get that info from you before and thanks. i did call them and they said that they weren't doing them anymore. if you have time to stop in and ask maybe a face to face would get them a bit more interested. thanks, paul c.

    Does this shroud have the part number embossed on it? I have a number of extra shrouds that I can look through.

    Everybody needs these, anyone doing a '67 GS, and anybody swapping a 455 into a '64-'67, or any other car with a 26' core support.

    I don't understand how it is profitable for them to make shrouds for the '65-'66 Nailhead GS, but not for '67, when the 65-66 is basically a 2 year, numbers-matching-only item, and the 67 is an invaluable tool for a popular engine swap?? :Do No:

    well i got a shroud through kirban performance who used to make or had them made. i got there last one and it is a bit on the thin side but it does have an off set to the drivers side which is for the bbb's. i will post back once i get it on there since the front of the motor is apart.

    I stopped in and spoke to Dennis (Kirban) about the shrouds a few weeks ago. Paul got the last 67 shroud, but they have a few 65-66 shrouds left. Their price is significantly lower than what Y1 and OPGI were selling them for! If there is enough interest, I could find out if they can make some more, and maybe even make them thicker. These are fiberglass. Inside surface is rough, outside needs some bondo to fill some defects and a paint job. Mounting holes need to be drilled. Molds were made from original parts at least.
