i want to see some pictures of cowl hoods. reason for, i want to get a cowl hood in a few weeks, but i wanna see pics first. thanks guys

 

cant buy this hood cause its custom made but....

 

Here is some bad pics of my Sunoco style hood. The first is from my old Blackberry and the other two are from last winter during the teardown.

"Champion Hoods and Products" 3 inch cowl. Pretty close to the Cervini's cowl:

 

yea i member you telling me that in my other thread. it was one bout me making a hood like the zl1 style..

 

You camaro guys are so lucky when it comes to hoods and all the different styles you have to choose from. If us firebird wants something cool we have very little to choose from. or we have to build something our self. Like I had to. Its a custom ZL1 cowl hood or L88 if you like. This one is fiberglass, But I'm thinking of making a new one out of carbon fiber since I have the mold

 

cervini 3"

 

some nice hoods everyone!! keep em comin

 

Looks alot like the glasstek 2" hood. I think that would be my next hood if my intake elbow clears.

i got a harwood 4" but its cut up for the turbos. Now i'm movin turbos under hood and cant patch the hood, so I need a new one.

 

My favorite cowl hood for our camaros, hands down. Is this style even available anymore?

 

Ed1LE- yes only place i seen it is at hawks but they still make the hood.

 

Thats the joengblood hood or however you spell it right?

 

is it? well heres a link

Those jongbloeds dont really fit the lines of the car very well. They sides are too rounded, nothing else on the car is that rounded and "bubble" shaped. It might look alright if they had louvers in it... then it'd look somewhat like the Trans Am Camaros:




But those cars are a lot more rounded off than our street cars.

 

I love them, always have. Different & more subtle than your typical cowl hood. Didn't realize Hawks still sold 'em. Good to know for future reference!

 

Ed1LE, you have any other pics? I need a new hood and debating on that one or a small cowl of some sort.

 

 

I can go snap some more pics of mine, but it won't be pretty. Then again...I have twenty more minutes of daylight, no snow, and it does need the dust hosed off. This really late winter is screwing me up here!

I think this car belongs to Blew-By-You

 

that toyota looks pissed off haha. but man now im thinkin bout the joegenblod hood(spell check that)

 

Do you run TPI, TBI, or carb? My hood was setup for a true cowl setup (carb, pan, foam, etc). It fit with the TPI just barely, after I put the Edelbrock strut brace on I had to start cutting. I need to figure out just how I want to re-glass the bottom to clean it up. BTW, this picture taken just after I bought it - MUCH cleaner now with a new motor

 

I don't unfortunately but when I'm ready for a hood, that's a strong candidate!

That blue Z28 is beautiful!

 

Also, I'm not sure how the hood looked before it was sprayed, but mine looks like crap the way it is right now. Whoever prepped and sprayed my hood did a really halfass job. I need to sand the top side, run a thin layer of bondo, spray high build primer, sand, prime, etc, etc. Man, I sure do hate painting!

 

Found a pic of my car when it was nice, before I got my hands into it

 

Beautiful car!

 

Thanks! I'm thinking about taking out the Spohn a arms, I don't like how much they set the wheel towards the rear of the wheel well...having the wheel turned a bit doesn't help the look either. I can't remember if the rear coils have the isolators or not, I'd like to drop the back a half inch or so.

 

Glasstek 2 Inch:

 

My 3inch harwood bolt on.

if your still lookng try vfn there kinda pricey but they do look good

 

theres some really nice cars on this thread.
thanks to all you guys for showing some pics

 

no more cowls?

 

Glasstek 4". I like the body lines of this hood waaaaay better than any I've seen. I looked at pictures for about a week of different cowl hoods. Dont pay any attention to the wheels in the first picture.

 

my clunker


4" glasstek pin on

 

cervinis

 

I never liked the slow rise cowls, or the ones that started further into the hood. Mine isn't exactly what I want but I think it fits the third gen lines the best, but greasemonkey's is very nice

 

I just got this same hood think mines a little bigger

 

My is a VFN hood just got it last year. I was happy with what I got.

 

cam406406, more pictures of the hood.

 

heres mine i just got it last week i was told its only 8lb and its shure feels like it. its a pin on.

 

My brother inlaw just graduated from Ft. Ruckers...I was down there end of January.

They don't look the same, yours looks like a 4" and the front of the cowl has a much more aggressive ramp up whereas the other is pretty gradual, flows well with the nose though.

 

4" bolt on glasstek weighs like 20#

 

JW that bird is nice. well in two weeks i should be postin up a pic of my cowl when i get it.

 

Thanks :-)

 

jw i have to be honest im not a big fan of birds but wow yours is awesome

 

Yea i just took a closer look at it its a bolt on and is so much lighter than the iroc hood

 

 

sorry guys for bumping my old threads up but i finally found the hood im gettin. and it gonna be on my car thursday its the sunoco hood like this but white and it has those hood pins but they will go asap. ill get a pic to post up on thursday
