just got my new hood looks good. just one ? I seen a blue one on here with the hood flat black. my camaro is purple, think the hood will look good in the flat black? :lala:
hi... hey did you get this from g&t fiberglass... i ordered one and if you happen to have pictures that would be great if you can post them or contact me. I am going to put my car in for paint and i would like to view a few others to see what colors are going to bring out the hood best! there were a few on the website but i would like to see how it looks with different colors.. the guys at g&t said they will post new pictures from their clients as they get them in.... they were nice to deal with...
i must say i agree with the gentle about the black hood on a different color car.... it just shouldn't happen!!!
thank you for the info and i hope to see your pictures soon...
I have no way to get pictures on my computer but it does look just like the one on the other cars posted on this board. when I talked to Todd at G&T he said someone on this board tracked down the maker of the origianal hood and gave the # to them (G&T) then they got the mold from the guy who made it years ago. The only diffrence he said was they had to add a lip on the two sides of the hood to make it look better. I will see if they have any pictures to post. I think I will do it flat black just until I can get it painted.
I want to see pics, if they have started re-production of the hood then I am so in on it.

At the bottom of the form where you type in you post, there is a box that says "Attach File". Click the browse button next to it and find the picture file on your computer, then press "Submit Reply" like you always would, and wha-la, you have a picture on your post
And tell those bungholes at GT Auto to post the pics on their own friggin website, lol!
Diabolical, thanks for posting the pics for me. I should be getting mine painted next week. I will try to post the pics then but if I can't I will email them to you again.
Thanks
the cowl is much wider than a cowl hood, and the sides go down on an angle instead of straight down like a normal one. imo the jongbloed looks much better and flows with the body of a camaro much better than a cowl hood
How much underhood clearance is gained with this hood? I'm probably going to order one in the next couple of weeks. I was going to do a manifold swap at the same time, just curious how much room I have to play with.
it def. looks better then cowl hoods, except maybe a replica 69 Z/28. They have a very small cowl. i like how the hood lines matches up with the headlight buckets. very nice, and i agree, it does flow with the car.. i could only dream........

Don't they call these hoods "Sunoco" hoods as well. It is by far the best hood for a 3rd gen!!!
The rounded bulgy edges dont flow with the angular lines of a thirdgen AT ALL. Looks like they put too much yeast in it before they baked it. To each his own.
