Carbon Fiber hood arrived today

[XcYZ]

After a bit of a wait, the carbon fiber hood arrived today. It's an amazing piece, there's just no way to capture it with a camera.

I'll be taking it to Autokraft on Monday so Kurt can do the fit up of the front clip. More pics to follow.

Sweet!! Is that the same hood thats on the Mule?

Whats the ETA on paint being finished now? Ready for some Spring driving?

[XcYZ]

Same hood as the Red Witch. :thumbsup:

Kurt thinks that he will have color on the car in early December.

Nice!! :thumbsup:

You would think that after spending the last 5.5 yrs. building my car I would have had time to get all the neet parts, not the case! First Franks inner fenders and now this...I guess this industry/hobby is growing so quickly you just can't 'keep up'!!

Wish they made them for 2nd gen Novas!:(

Scott..do you have a idea of how much it weighs?



-Jim

I'm guessing right at 19-20 lbs...got to be at least 59-60#'s for a steel cowl

I need one...and a c/f spoiler too.:thumbsup:

[BC69]

19lbs!! The hinges and bolts holding it on the car might weigh more!

Good use of the bathroom scale!

[rocketman]

I would like to have one for my 10.5 camaro, they do a taller cowl thou, like a 6inch? Need to check them out.

[MODO Innovations]

19 lbs. That is just crazy. Imagine if we all had an unlimited budget, how light would the car be if the body was all CF?:willy:

[JamesJ]

How much does a real one way? any real numbers?

[mazspeed]

Scott, is that the same scale that tells you that you're 180 pounds? :D

You might want a second weigh in.

[XcYZ]

lol, I wish!

[Rick Dorion]

Simply beautiful! It's quite amazing how far the aftermarket is going.

[shanekennedy]

how many $'s did it run you

[mstennes]

Where can I get one? I know I asked before but time and age has managed to make me forget:yes: .

[Ricochet]

Looks awesome Scott!! As if your car wasn't going to be bad ass to begin with? Just one more thing that will take it over the edge!:thumbsup:

[XcYZ]

Thanks Brent. :)
