Thread: hoods

hey datapocalypse i did not get your emails i do not know whats going on with that. I have been thinkin that i will start a email addy just or this forum and stuff let me kw if you all would be down with that so that can get on it cause i d not wnt to miss anyones emails. and the gf is getting better so maybe i can get out of the house one day this week an do some more on the hoods.

did you get my pm bad1999?

yeah got it thanks you are on the list.

I'm all in.. Email sent

Glad to hear your girlfriend is feeling better

hey i'm very interested in buying an F.1 hood for my 1997 grand prix GT. my car is white so i'm wondering if you could paint it for me too. i'll give you the paint codes if you need them. is this possible? and how much would it be about? hopefully a good price. thanks a lot.

if bad1999gtp has them still for sale until spring-summer i'll def et one. money's going to my vs cam swap first. keep us posted on the finished product man. hope your girl gets better soon.

Great to hear someone is doing this. American sports car design was the only site I knew of with a variety of hoods, but since the owner passed away the site has been down. Doesnt look like they are staying in business.
As for the question my preference is the WS6 hood. I just bought one froma de-modding project. The inferno hood for the 97-03 would be another fav of mine.
Good luck, I hope you have sucess making the hoods.

looking forward to these, would you take a core? im close enough to bring it to ya, its not in the best shape but hell its good

Got to love cost and marked up retail for profit. Not a lot that goes into making a hood, but you pay for quality on many of them where as the other ones out there are slapped together so fast, they have a 2% chance of fitting right and looking good.

You would have a good following if you can meet the demand.

should have pics this weekend now that i am back from michigan. mom had a heart attack so i was back home for a week but i should have pics this weekend

Looking forward to seeing pics of your work, but no rush. Sorry to hear of your family's run if misfortune. GPF isn't going anywhere. Wish you and your family all the best and keep up the good work on the cars when you can.

i got two done but i am having trouble trying to get the latches mounted

Very interested

I'm 99.44% sure I'd want a WS6 style for an '04+

2004 GTP Comp-G - Black - Wouldn't need my hood if I bought yours

Willing to drive or meet from NW Illinois

hey guys here are a few pics of the hood i did for my trans am. it is a ram air hood. and you can see in the pics it is not even in primer yet. the gp hood is in the booth and being sprayed tomorrow with primer. and beleive me guys there has been some long hours to get these hoods to look like this and need little prep work. so give me input and remember these are all hand made.










and for those that asked here aete pics of the grills that i have for both trans am and the gp. a local guy made them for me.





well let me know hat you guys think. and so all you guys know these hoods will be useing the stock frames from under the hood. i am doing it this way for more strength.

That one looks sweet! I'm def interested. Looking forward to seein' some pics.
