Hey, I have been trying to decide on a cowl for a while now and have searched and searched for cowl pics. It would be cool if people could post some pics of thirdgen Camaros with cowl hoods, as well as how many inches the cowl is and who the manufacturer is.... (harwood... etc). Thanks!

 

here is mine...i believe it is harwood....not sure though....its a 4"

 

2½" fiberglass bolt-on, 80-81 Z28 style; only pic I have for now...

 

follow my link

 

Here is mine, i believes its a 2" or 2 1/2", i cut it off of a 68 camaro hood and put on my car, and of course did the body work.

 

DUDE!!! My brother showed me your vette out of super street. They were making fun of it in there (they are gay anyways) but **** you put down some nice numbers if im not mistakin in the 1/4. Cool to have you around man.

\/ its harwood 4" cowl

 

mine is a cervinis 3" cowl hood

 

Here's mine. 3 inch Harwood.

 

Sweet I was hoping someone would post a cervinis cowl, looks good, have any more shots of it like from the sides and stuff?

 

I never knew harwood made a 3" for our cars, i thought it was just 2 1/2" or 4". Is that a custom cowl or does harwood make 3" cowls for our cars?

Thanks for all the pics guys, keep em coming :hail:

 

sorry havent developed any other pics of my car. but i can tell ya i know someone with the harwood 3" hes on these board bottledzr28. and he says he doesnt like the fit. i didnt have to do anything to my hood. just bolt it up and adjust the lines. i was ready to

:hail: cervinis hoods

 

 

Saywhut, who makes your hood? That's the way a cowl hood should look. It's the same height from front to back, and has the proper overhang like the original '69 RPO ZL2 super scoop hood. I really dislike the hoods that look like a ramp has been glassed onto the hood.

 

The hood is actually advertised as 2 3/4 but when I measured it, it was at 3 inches.

 

Right on the money, Matt, it was custom built from an original 69 Z28 cowl section, cut from a new GM hood, welded to a thirdgen RS hood, then the bracing etc cut out, and made functional. Unfortunately it was involved in a wreck, and is pretty badly bent these days. Here's another.



Edit: The hood was built by a friend for his carbed car, and was functional on it, with the factory air cleaner, etc. I put it on a TPI car, just 'cause I loved the look. It's all steel and a little Bondo, heavy as heck, the work was superb. You could not see a seam anywhere.

 

 

Unknown Host: One of my friends actually showed me it when It was in and I was kinda happy till i read what they wrote so I wrote a letter to the editor and basically b****ed!! I sent a pic along with the letter so he would know and it was in 2 months later with the correct info. so I can't complain!! Some of my "import buddies" ragged me for awhile but I just told them there jealous cuz they can't get their rides in import mags and I can!!! Hoping to run low 11's this yr with the SC!!!

 

Saywhut, what brand hood is that? I want one like that. Never mind I guess I should have read the following post.

 

very nice cars and cowls in here!!

 

2" Glasstek.

Can't upload my pics for some reason, but I had the same one that Willie and the black camaro had. I custom made mine too. You can see it a bit in the signiture

 

"Less is more" ... indeed, "Brevity is wit."

The subtlety of understatement. That must be one of the reason I like Willie's Camaro so much :hail:

 

Ive got a bolt on 2 5/8" z-28 cowl on my trans am. Heres a few pics, but my camera SUCKS, I apologize now. There is a hole cut in the hood for the aircleaner. This gives the best idea of height and such. Oh and those 14" rims are long gone.

 

hole cut for air cleaner. BTW, the a/c is also now gone from the car.

 

Heres another decent pic, *** these pics make my stripes look bad, they look much better in person, theres a pinstripe around the main stripe.

 

Don't know if this will work or not. Still trying to find the pics somewhere. They were the good ones. Sorry about the rims, just had it painted and didnt have the new ones polished yet.

 

Ahhh, I found some!! Kewl!!

 

Here's another 2" glasstek hood.

 

I just love it ......not the greatest quality **EDIT** (the picture that was supposed to load, not the hood itself.)

Glasstek 4" Cowl

 

I like cowls better on Camaros then birds. It fits their lines better. The best for a cowl imo is an 80's monte.

Willie has attached this image:


How long and how much money did you spend to get you hood finished. How was the quality of the piece befor you painted it? I
can't decide which one to get. You Glasstek looks sharp.

 

TC602,

The only prep the hood required were on the front and back edges. Minor sanding and it was ready to paint. It cost me $150 to paint the top. I left the underside black (which is the way it comes), which matches my engine compartment. The cowl area is open to the engine compartment. I sealed it to my air cleaner via a custom made airbox.

ASCD 4 inch, I bought it and never used it; too big for my tastes

btw, if your near MD its in the classifieds, check it out

 

Lets see some more awesome pics guys!

 

cervinis 3" cowl waiting to be painted

 

Does anyone have any pics of the harwood 2 3/4 or 2 1/2 inch hood?

 

hmm I wanted a 3'' but I may go 4'' now. Kinda overkill but looks better.

 

Here's my GoodMark Steel Cowl Induction Hood.

 

Here's the underside.

 

Harwood 2 1/2" hinged here (GKK...love the underside of that Goodmark! Nice and easy to seal up. My only complaint about the Harwood....although, to its credit...that smooth black underside is the perfect place for some graphics )

 

Guess it would help if I attached the pic, huh?

 

That car is beautiful, love the hood! Got any pics of the underside or from inside the car?

 

25THRSS...thanks. I've got a few more pics here https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hlight=deemax. It was about 12* out the day I took those pics...I kinda rushed to get them, and didn't even think to take any underhood shots. I'm going to, tho..and post them when pretty soon.

 

Heres my 3" Harwood.
