what did you think of those pictures of the grill i sent you?

 

It's a 84 Z28 Camaro that was conversion kit of Autoform in 83-84 Camaro and Firebird.

Attach file is the frame buildup and how the car was structured.

This is a link to an 84 Convertible that a guy was selling.

i dont know guys. i really do like do like pskel350 hood. Anymore pics man?

 

i plan on gettin the bigblock hood, looks differnt but in a good way, since alot of people are goin with the SS hood.

 

pskel350 What hood is that its alittle different than the ss hood so what do you call it?

 

its just the standard bb hood

thanks

 

ding ding ding. ok bb wins. post some more pics man. and how much did ya want for that grill?:hail:

 

i just placed my order with hawks. thanx guys

 

you could have saved your self 10% if you went with ASCD our other sponcer. they have a thing for just thirdgen.org memebers and youd have to call your order in. anyway congrates on the hood. cant wait to order mine.

 

anyone make these hoods functional?

-chuck

 

Thanks Chris!
From the pics etc. I've seen of yours, it should be an awesome ride as well when completed.

Oh, and keep me in mind should you come a cross a complete gfx set, like I mentioned a while back, sometime

i have an ss hood i purchased the day they came out(sometime in 99, i think) LOL. not sure if they fixed their mold, but my hood was NASTY!!! waves, didnt line up with either fender. looked like i had the hood popped when it was shut. big wave by the drivers side hood hinge.... cant get that out. they laughed at me and told me to pay frieght both ways and they would get me a new hood. BS. all fixed now, body man worked the core support a bit for the fenders to line up correctly. had to slot the passenger side fender because you couldnt even shut the hood.
poorly built, IMO, but looks damn good when done right. :hail:

 

what does BB stand for?

 

"big block"

 

great i could have saved 10%? Why didnt anyone tell me! lol shipping was $98. I dont get why hawks just doesnt charge us for shipping and include it in the final price. Anyone have any pics of a camaro with a bb thats red?

 

SS & BB

 

yeah im hopeing my 88 iroc t-top will look somewhat like 84customZ28 with the gfx's and the wing. But mine will have the BB:hail:

 

who carries the BB hood what web site? sorry if somebody already posted that information, I didnt see it

 

Here's some pics of mine shortly before it was stolen, I really didn't have any fitment issues:


and another:


and I always thought this view of the hood was pretty intimidating:


PS: The gap between the hood and nose was because the nose was a crappy after market that I was going to work some magic on, it wasn't the hood.

 

the gap on the drivers side between the hood and the nose is the hoods problem. ive seen many ASCD hoods this way. only their 3rd gen hoods seem to have problems. 4th gen hoods are build with much more quality and attention. ive seen pics and handfulls of both in person and they DO skimp on 3rd gen stuff.

 

man looking at this post I always think I should sell my 3inch cowl and get a SS or a BB hood for my vert.

 

hey 123jon321 how did your hood get stolen? I got my BB from hawks for those who wanted to know. Sweet pics man. Anymore?:hail:

 

hey 123jon321 i see that you took off your 3piece spoiler off the back, was this very hard and did you do it youself?

 

hey 123jon321 i see that you took off your 3 piece spoiler, ws this very hard or did you have someone else do it?

 

hey i just saw 330hp_91RS car and he has a bb hood finished.

Actually the whole car was stolen.....
It was the nose that was the problem, trust me. The top corners of the nose didn't come all the way to where they should have, its kinda hard to explain. If you look real close at the pic you'll see what I mean. And I had taken off the spoiler for the paintjob it never got. It's real easy to do, it's just a matter of unscrewing ten nuts. But try to be careful, on the decklid piece the studs can be brittle from age and pull out of the spoiler. Only one of mine came out but I imagine it could have been worse. I'm glad I got all the bodywork experience I did with the car because when I decide to buy another thirdgen, or anything for that matter, I'll know what I'm doing to begin with.

 

hmmm. I hope my 3 piece is as easy to take off as yours is cause i got a high rise to put on my iroc

 

man i want the damn ss hood it looks awesome on thirdgens
