Steel cowl hoods?
 

Just curious, are there any manufacturers of steel cowl hoods for 3rd gens?

1984 Silver Z28, 383 cid long-rod 4 bolt SBC, ARP Bolts, 2 1/2" Cowl w/ Cold Air Induction, 600 cfm Performer Carburetor, Torker II Intake, Performer RPM Heads, XE268H Cam, Roller Tip Rockers, MSD6A Ignition, Blaster2 Coil, HEI Distributor w/ Adjustable Advance, 700R4, TransGo SK, 2.73:1 Limited Slip Dana 44, Terminator Headers, Custom 3" TIG Welded Stainless Exhaust, Flowmaster Muffler, 4 Wheel Disc Brakes, Oil Cooler

Yeah. Pick up a Super Chevy, CHP or GMHTP magazine and you'll see the full page ad. $429 for the 3rdgen hood. Considering that I paid $400 for my junk Harwood, I'd say that's a good price.

If I knew that, I would have given it to you instead of telling you to go buy all of those magazines. https://www.thirdgen.org/messageforum3/smile.gif

I think they said they have a hood with a steel frame but fiberglass body. maybe. You'll have to check out the site. They have some very cool stuff!

Try Goodmark Industries.com I ordered one last week and It should be here tomm.I have personally talked to the guy that did the fitment of it.It isnt lighter but he said the quality was first rate.And it is set up for a real cowl induction set-up.I have a picture but dont know how to put it here.

I just got my car back from being painted yesterday. I just got a steel cowl hood from goodmark. I ordered it from a retailer (out of one of those super chevy magazines) and it fits great. I love the way it looks, although they claim it is two inches, it is more like 3 in the back. The back is screened and it is functional. I prefer the steel over the fiberglass because i wanted something finished underneath and only a few fiberglass hoods are. I don't know how to put pics on here or I could show you. If you go to goodmarkindustries.com it has a pic, but it isn't a very good one.
