1, are the Daytona hood louvers the same width and depth as the ones on the stock Z28 hood? 2, I have the stock hood with functional louvers, if I get the Daytona hood can I put the louver unit onto it and have it line up?

they are the same width and depth. with a little modifications i dunno y u cant make it work.

well I did a little more research and found that the functional louvers on my hood are MUCH closer then the louvers on a typical hood





soI guess I answered my own question. no the daytona hood will not work

The hood you have is a 82-84 z28 hood. The design changed after that to the other hood with more space between the louvers.

thats what I figured but it doesn't really help me with my problem, which is the need for a cowl hood with louvers comaptible with the mechanism on my hood

I've searched around to see if I can find an answer for you,but all I can say is maybe you can make your own? Maybe cuz out the section in the middle you want raised, and cut some pieces of metal to fill in the gaps on the sides, and maybe you will have what your looking for?

yeah my only option I see is building my own hood but I'm not really a body guy and this is my HOOD the most eye drawing part on a car. and I shudder at the idea of cutting into my very rare hood and screwing it up.

plus, not that I have the money for someone else to do it, but there isn't even anyone in town that messes with fiberglass that I can find

Not to burst your bubble, but the hood isn't that rare. Sure there aren't as many out there as the Iroc hoods, but there are quite a few. I think I have atleast 4 fiberglass 82-83 hoods, 3 of them functional.

I'd hit up some junkyards looking for an SMC hood, even if it's not the functional type. Cut out the center part and mold that into an aftermarket fibergalss hood. The use your "flapper" parts to finish it off.

well I didn't think I had the only one in the world but I know there not easilly availible or cheap if some IS selling them, are you willing to sell one of yours? how much to 80910

I would be willing to sell one, but I think the shipping would be a deal breaker. I believe I have a set of flaps along with their hardware that would be easier to ship.

i Would love to buy one! i have looked all over and havent been able to find a functional daytona hood within 200 miles of where i live. If you still have the hoods would you be willing to sell one? i live at 46783 and i would pay shipping which is about $100 i think from either coast so that should be the max. Please get back with me! thanks!

If you're still looking for a daytona hood PM me, I just want a stock steel 91/92 hood

Hi i emailed you back. Just wondering if you got it or not. Im very interested in your hood if youre willing to sell.

I don't want sell just the hood because I d

I don't want sell just the hood because I dont have another one. If you find a stick steel one and want to trade it for the daytona one that's fine. I work alot so sorry I didn't email you back quickly
