In the real SS/ classes factory hood means just about what it says. If a car came with a nhra accepted fiberglass hood you can run it (and there are some aftermaket hoods that get thru). But you can't replace a steel hood with a fiberglass one unless nhra accepts it. This pertains to the SS/ classes.
