steve what hood is that? take much prep to get it looking like it is now? (aside from paint obviously)

edit: ok obviously it has received a bit of "massaging" on the rear of the cowl and the screen, but what did it begin life as? before becoming a piece of the 3rd gen built by the gods

Thanks for compliments guys !

Actually, I looked at those black Z06 wheels, they are very sharp as well !

The hood is from http://www.usbodysource.com/ but I did modify it extensively as you noted to open up the cowl, built the screen and frame, and removed the body ridge up the entire centre of the hood. Didn't like the look of it, to pronounced for our cars, more in line with the first gen Camaro cowl hood.

Re: post pics of silver camaros/z06 wheels please

I have a few guestions for Steve Petroff..The cage...looks clean..Very nice. How did you get it to stay down close to the floor so its easy to get in and out of. If you could send me pics or somethin so I can see Id like to do somthing similer. How and where did u get the gas door and to work? That looks great..very nice car by the way and the gauges..I love how they are mounted.

Re: post pics of silver camaros/z06 wheels please

The cage was custom bent to my specifications by Bear Performance in Windsor Canada. Simply welded the side bars lower than normal to aid in getting in and out. The gas door is a Mustang Bullitt unit that I modified to fit the curvature of our quarter panels. There are more pics in either of the two links above.
