Just in case your haven't been following it you need to the car is going to be awesome !!

Okay enough jibber jabber - Check out this freaking hood.

Here is what Lou Just posted and I think the hood needs it's own thread !!!!

Adam at V8TV did a terrific job fabricating the hood modifications and the core support cover.

Here are some pics of his work making templates and building the custom hood:

You will notice that the rib that runs down the center of the valance panel and hood were also removed to make the new hood look like it belongs. We're really happy with the way it turned out.

Next he tackled the core support cover. Here is the rendering he started with:

[GAP Industries]

Very Nice work

[FathomGreen69]

That is awesome! I was wondering how long it would take for somebody to put that ZL-1 hood on a 69 Camaro. Its going to look fantastic!

[fleetus macmullitz]

Agreed Marty, that is an awesome mod.

The '69 Camaro...still evolving. :D

Check out the revised Dan Steinhauser (http://www.steinhauserdesign.com) rendering of Lou's Change reflecting the design of the hood. Looks killer.
