Monday, March 31, 2008 2:30 PM
Hey guys just got done making this hood for my cav. I want to first thank skunk for the freebie hood, and its all ready for some paint this coming weekend skunk. So thats good news. Now on to the pics.













And Some other things that are going on the car.

A Fully Built motor almost finished, waiting on cams.



Some TIAL Sport Products





And Finally My rear weld rims. Still waiting on the fronts to be made. The blue is just a protective covering



Thanks for checking it out and let me know what you think.

The main reason for the hood is to keep the engine and turbo much cooler. Im not going for show by any means. This is basically gonna be a track only car.

So the back of the hood is open? If not you should put your gauges in there

Hater...j/k. Why the hate joe. You really should see it in person, it gives the cav a different look to it.

I think the hood would actually look really good if the sides had a smooth curve to them. You know more of a rounded edge at the top. IMO the rims are fugly. Bu they they are llightweight track rims so function over form.

Is the cowl based off of the mustang hood??? I recently just picked up a similar fiberglass mustang cowl for my grand am hood. Looks good man!

I like the idea, but I don't like how angular the edges of the cowl seem.

I can respect the functionality of the hood, but I think it could have been done so the lines flowed with the car a little better. Softer edges, more of an arc that followed the arc of the hood, etc., but props on the work.

The wheels are not my taste, but they are actually pretty sweet.

Not feelin the hood at all, but I love the turbo stuff and rims

I am interested in seeing how it looks painted, with the wheels on.
