Update on the TGO (jongbloed) hood:

I've been emailing GT auto off and on for the past couple months and got some good news about the TGO hood back today:

Hello,

I did get the origanal molds from MR. Jongbloed. I have them now but need to strip them and do just a little work to them. I should be selling them by the end of November.



man i can't wait to get my hands on one of these things...

Love that hood, it goes perfect on a Camaro. If I'm not mistaken, I think that's the hood that Vettetrax has on his car. Beautiful.

I still love that hood but im not getting one cause I felt like i was in my 94' again with the blocked view when i rode in a 3rd gen with a cowl,

just realized why that pic looks weird, those are 82-84 side ground effects, probably look a lot better with the correct ones.
