I always prefer my JongBLOWN!!

 

Be nice guys

 

I'm a fan of the cowl look.

 

From what I can tell the look the same from the outside. What is it that makes the jongblow (if thats even how you spell it), better than the regular cowl hood. I know hawks want somthing like $469 for one. J&T Fiberglass makes it for them. You can buy it direct from J&T for $350.00 if you do the finish work on the underside yourself which is rather easy.

So, what makes the jongblown better than the regular cowl? is it air distrubution, or what?

Is anyone familar with J&T fiberglass? How are their products?

 

I think the jongbloed (not sure if thats right...cant it be an easier name?) looks alot better because it follows the line of the original hood style, the cowl doesnt seem to match the car, regular cowl is too square in my opinion

 

yeah go with the jongbloed or w.e
i think it fits perfect with the lines of our cars

 

i'm happy with my 4" glasstek hood.

I agree. The only thing I dislike is the ridge in the middle, but that can be sanded down. The jongbloed follows the lines of the car much better.

 

jonbloed is the best cowl hood i think for our cars ot at least I think it looks the best not sure how well they fit not to many people have them

 

ill help ya out . The jongbloed looks good because its wide just like ths nose of the camaro . I think it looks great . I dont see too many on here with the hood so it would be cool to get the hood . here some pics.

The head-on shot definitely looks awesome how it follows the lines of the car. You really can't go wrong with either one though.

 

Thanks for all the comments and the pics. Those cars really look awsome with that hood. It really sets them off. I ordered one yesterday evening from G&T Fiberglass. He said I should have it in about 2.5 week. Total cost including shipping was $469.00. $350 for the hod, $15 packing fee, and $104 shipping.

After I get this hood I should have her painted within two weeks. I plan to go with jet black base coat/clearcoat, and med silver metallic stripes from front to back.
I'll post pics when complete.

 

personally, i dont like the jongbloed (dutch name, it means young-blood), it looks too bulgy.

the cowl induction hood is nice but sooooooo many have them.
im making my own hoodscoop out of sheet metal, turns out great.

 

my favorite is the 5" jonbloed hood, with a 5" harwood rear spoiler, looks killer!

 

I feel the jongblown is the sexiest aftermarket hood, considering all generations of the fbody! go for it!!

 

anyone got any pics of it on a sportcoupe?

 

Any pics of the 5 inch one?

 

Yea i like the Jongblown, but does anyone have a pic of one on a red camaro. Im buying a hood soon and would like to get an idea of how it will look. Also do they make the jongblown in a lift off style.

 

i dont have a pic, but they say they carry a 5", i think it would compliment a 5" harwood spoiler quite well

 

Well everywhere i look for the Jongbloed style, its like $450 and up, where did you find if for $350.

 

G&T Fiberglass has it. They have a rotating banner ad on this site. G&T makes it for Hawks. Why not just buy it directly from the Maunfacter?. G&T says they are the only manufactorers of the Jongblown hood. It was designed specifically for the third generation F-body, and they purchased the mold from the designer.

I'll post pics of it once I install it on the car and then again after we paint it.

 

Yea but here http://www.gtfiberglass.com/PRICING.html it says its $440 NOT $350 like you said in your original post.

 

http://www.gtfiberglass.com/prepurown.html $350 you finish.

 

I personnaly like this hood. When I get a real engine in my RS, I`m planing on getting this hood.

 

That's it. All you have to do is grind down the seam on the underside of hood. very easy. saves $100

 

"Jay is no rocket scientist, anyone can do this!"

 

where eles can you buy the 3'' jongblown hood from besides, hawks and g&t?

 

check my car domain, it has a bunch of pics of the jongbloed. I love mine.

 

I wish they made a Jongbloed for Firebirds...My GTA needs a new hood (thanks to Bambi!), not to mention a diet! At 4600 lbs, she's a porker!

 

the Jongblown hood is the ugliest hood made for these cars bottom line. i would never ever consider it for anything i build but i have different tastes than others i know and it is just my opinion.

 

that is the one i would have put on my car if I didnt get the seal on my ram II

 

Steven,

Just put her on a high protein hp diet. She'll get quick in no time. Just add $$$.

 

4600-lbs LOL? I hope that's with you in the car! Wait a minute, I hope it's not with you in the car LMMFAO....!!!!

 

I misread the tag on the door...

4600 lbs was the loaded weight.

I can't find where I wrote the #s down at, but ended up at 3501 lbs unloaded.

BTW...I'm 6'5" & 200 lbs (on a bad day! )

 

For the people that want a 5" johnbloed hood I have a brand new hood never bolted on the car $280.00. PM me.

 

Does any one have pics of a jongebloen 5" on a care preferably a black camaro thanks.

 

Dear Jebus, how do you fit in the car?! I'm 6'2 and I wish the seat went back just one more notch as it is...

 

On my 5th 3rd gen now, and I've never considered it a problem. Now, in my '65 VW Beetle I had years ago...I actually moved the seat back, drilled new holes in the floor, and remounted it!

Anyways...Anybody know how to ship a steel hood? I'm considering getting a new 'glass hood for my GTA, but need to sell off the GTA hood I got to replace the one Bambi took out.

 

i say go for the cowl look

but dont go for that triangle looking one

like in the pic

go for one the matches the curve of the hood

 

No one mentioned that it's actually a functional cowl induction hood?!
every other hood is just a cowl look hood!

 

Triangle looking one? If you are referring to the Jongbloed, there is only 1 Jongbloed hood, and 1 place to get it. Follow the grooves in your stock hood. Everything between the grooves is raised. Front low, rear high.

If you are referring tothestandardcowl induction ood, they are all like the same really.

 

I first saw the Jongbloed hood in Popular Hot Rodding around 1984. They used the hood on a red with black striped project car. It was a 4 or 5 issue project car (Camaro vs. Mustang vs. Shelby Dodge). Back then it was available from and made by Jongbloed http://www.jongbloedracing.com/ Jongbloed makes wheels for alot of SCCA racers.
A few Chevrolet dealers carried them. About 7 years ago, a fellow club member bought 2 for $150 each from a dealership that just wanted to get rid of them. That's his blue Camaro in the picture. If anyone is interested, I might be able to post some photos of the hood from the Popular Hot Rodding articles.

Steve

 

I love my jongbloed hood!

Thats my Orange car.










I think it fits the cars much better than a generic cowl induction scoop.

 

How long ago did you get it? From Jongbloed or G & T? How long did it take to actually get it, if you got it from G & T?

Thanks...I had almost decided NOT to spend my $ on one, and you just HAD to post those pics...

 

I got mine from G&T Fiberglass. They are the makers of it, other may sell it, but they have the molds. It only took a couple weeks, but that was about 2 years ago.

There is a thread about them being real slow now. Look in the vendor forum.

 

That thread is why I asked where you got it from, & when. And Jongbloed originally made & sold it, then G&T bought the mold. And yeah, they are the only makers, of a hood that style (cowl between the OEM creases).
Nobody else sells it. So, they came from Jongbloed when they were originally produced, or from G&T, after they bought the mold.

 

You got it.

 

They got mine to me in about three weeks. I am very happy with the hood.
