Frequently Asked Questions

What does Rootlieb Inc. manufacture?

Rootlieb hand-builds quality steel hoods, hood sides and louvered panels for early Ford hot rods and street rods, offering precise reproduction parts for authentic restoration and custom builds.

Which vehicles do Rootlieb hoods suit?

Rootlieb specialises in early Ford applications, including Model A and 1932 to 1934 Fords, with hood tops and side panels designed to fit traditional and modified chassis.

Are Rootlieb hoods steel or fibreglass?

Rootlieb hoods are crafted from steel, giving them the authentic look, weight and durability hot rod builders prefer over fibreglass for faithful, long-lasting early Ford restorations.

Can I order louvered hood panels for a custom look?

Yes. Rootlieb offers louvered side panels and hood tops that add traditional hot rod styling while improving engine bay ventilation, a popular choice for period-correct street rod builds.

Will Rootlieb panels fit my modified hot rod chassis?

Many Rootlieb panels suit both stock and modified setups, but fitment varies by build. Contact us with your chassis details and we will help confirm the correct panels.

Can I get Rootlieb parts shipped within Australia?

Yes. We import Rootlieb panels directly and ship across Australia, charging only freight so local hot rod builders access authentic US-made steel bodywork at competitive prices.
