Don't forget about us Bruce...

hawksthirdgen

Hey guys, we appreciate the comments. To answer some questions; the car has a T-56 6 Speed built by us, our new 2" stainless header/y-pipe/exhaust combo, Moser 12 bolt, and a full BMR suspension to tie it all together. Dyno number are soon to come...

If we get enough instrest in the hoods we will start making them

Also here are some more pics for you guys... SEE BELOW

That car is amazing....

Love the hood. What is the clear part made of?

Also, the rims are perfect. They look close to the crosslace rims, the deep dish is incredible, and just fit the car so well.

Are they custom made with the correct offset?

That's a very impressive car, Bruce. What impresses me the most is the simple fact that there's somebody out there "specializing" in thirdgens, and actually doing them well enough to get positive magazine press. There's really nothing better for the whole thirdgen community then getting that kind of positive exposure and building more interest in the cars.

Incredible car! Wish those headers were out when I did my build!

Awesome car!!! I'd definitely get in line for that hood without the window.

hawksthirdgen

It is the same one off the new ZR1 Corvette (believe it's a lexan material), called our dealer up and ordered one. Pretty expensive just for that piece too.

obviously depending on price, but I want the hood, minus the window of course.

i assume its fiberglass?
if all is good, put me on the list for one!

Awesome car too!

Sweet looking build. If I had the money I would have sent you my car to do my swap, I'm sure it would have turned out a little cleaner than I did it, but I didn't have the extra money to pay someone else to do it for me.

wow..bird is amazing..love the hood and the tails...motor aint to bad either :rollseyes:

Saw a few pics of this car on ls1tech from ta nationals I believe. Beautiful car.

How big are those wheels? 19"? 20"? Car looks like it sits too high to be 18" or smaller.

iTrader: (9)

nice i ran across a few pics of this car on ls1 tech.. people were claiming it was powered by the zr1s sc ls9.. i wasn't sure. sick build though. any more high quality pics or vids?

kevin89formula

Yeah I got to see it at the ta nationals. The car is bad to the bone.
When they fired it up it made me kinda jealous. The hood really turned out good, its a work of art.

I've got the exact same story.

hawksthirdgen

Hi,
I agree 100% that is why we try to continue to push the envelope slightly with the third gen car is to get them exposure so the popularity of these cars increases which will help our car more than anything and help the market we love and the market that we continue to stay loyal to

hawksthirdgen

Hi,
Preliminary #s are in 645RWHP and 675 RWftlbs with the pulls going to 5K as we are out of injectors and that is with only 15-17 degrees of timing so I think we will get close to the 700RWHP mark with more injector and a full pull with a little more timing not bad for a third gen . Oh I did I mention this car is going to be for sale the car makes over 640ftlbs across the pull WOW!!
Hi,
And to let you guys know the hood insert is actually I HIGH QUALITY polycarbonite that will withstand the heat of the engine bay and the elimants as well.

Mongoose

iTrader: (2)

So..........what kind of timeline on seeing that hood in production?

Ace

iTrader: (2)

Looks good and im not a fan of white but that hood is pretty sweet.. I kinda wish I went bigger then an LS3 as well.

PS: Ship my orders so I can get rolling too!!

Twin_Turbo

iTrader: (25)

Wow, awesome!!

hawksthirdgen

Hi,
Hoods will be a little while will have to be enough interest before I would say we will make them the one with the clear piece will be pricey as the polycarbonite piece alone is 550.00 WOW.
Thanks for al the positive comments guys

Twin_Turbo

iTrader: (25)

is the pc piece oem gm? That stuff can easily be vacuum formed in an oven so if you pull a mold replicating it would be easy and much cheaper than 550 sicne the sheets are pretty inexpensive. The sheets are available in a lot of nice translucent colors so they could be color matched to the rest of the car too. Just a thought

Very Nice build.. Great work..

hawksthirdgen

Hi,
Will this stand the heat of the engine bay as well as the weather over time???

Twin_Turbo

iTrader: (25)

Depends, there is a scratch resistant coating available. Check with Percys, they do windshields and have a lot of experience. I've had an old car that had plexi headlight covers and the anti scratch coating yellowed a bit over time but I'm talking about 15 years or so. It does stand up to the heat, it will never get near hot enough there to warp the plexi.

hawksthirdgen

Hi,
I would rather stick with the highest quality material on something as of this to make sure the customer gets the best end product possible but thanks for all the help.
Thanks,Bruce

What's the potential of producing a non-windowed version?

Awesome-X

Yeah I wanted a window one too but for $550 you can keep it and I'll just take a regular one lol

SLP-GTA

iTrader: (1)

well done, I like the window, reminds me of the new vette hood. So how much for the car

spade

iTrader: (3)

really the hood is 550? i dont think its that bad of a price... i think 450 s very doable


**edit**

nevermind... i thought the whole hood was 550

Twin_Turbo

iTrader: (25)

Polycarbonate is the same thing as lexan. (not the same as plexiglass/perspex/lucite/plexolite/polymethylmethacryklate) A sheet of lexan is a sheet of lexan, the 550$ sounds like it's the ZR1 sticker thing at work there. Ridiculous price. I saw knock offs available not long ago, can't remember who it was.

Atilla the Fun

If they can afford to build that, then they must be charging you guys way too much $ for their used parts. There are better-priced salvage yards out there, the savings makes the search worthwhile.
