I'm glad my advertising dollar is already paying off with Lateral-g!
I should have production pieces later this week and we are selling everything at a 10% dicount if ordered before the end of September 2007. We will have 3 peices ready to ship including a standard cowl induction hood (2"), header panel (for '67 & '68 as well as '69) and a cowl panel with aluminum vent inserts that may be replaced with what ever custom screen you want to put in. The hoods are avialble in 3 varieties and prices depending on the amount of carbon fiber and include the under strucure like the original if you want to use a cowl induction system. The lowest priced hood has a carbon to layer with all other layers fiberglass. The highest priced hood is 100% carbon fiber. The header panel and cowl panel can be purchased in carbon top layer with fiberglass under layers or 100% caron fiber. We are still putting the finishing touches on our web site to accept credit cards, but it should be up later this week. In the mean time if anybody is interested please call our toll free number 888-723-8882 which is also posted on our site. Anybody who calls and wants any of these parts will be put on a prority list and get the 10% discount before the end of this month.
I also have first prototypes of a first gen Camaro carbon fiber deck lid and custom rear spoiler. I'm hoping to have production versions in about 2 months. I want to make sure the parts are right before we get them in production.
We will be making 2nd gen carbon fiber parts soon. I just bought Jason Wyrick's '73 Z/28 that is posted on member's rides on lateral-g. Just type in his name and you will see pictures of this already bitch'n Camaro which we will further transform into a light weight street fighter. For anybody who lives in southern California, I will have this car at "Cruisin' for a Cure" at the Orange county fairgrounds this Saturday, Sept. 22.

Thanks guys for your support! I am an industrial designer by trade (www.3did.com) and have been designing products for my clients for years only to see them get all the glory and money. Well, being a dyed in the wool car guy, I set out to form Anvil to cater to the Pro Touring market with an eye on design at an affordable price. There are already a lot of great companies catering to this market which has grown be leaps and bounds in the last few years (due in large part to sites like lateral-g). I want to fill a niche by listening to my clients to understand their needs and desires. I'm starting with the obvious choices first as a business strategy, but want to get into more specialized pieces to make customizing much easier for anybody with a desire to express himself / herself through their hobby without having to rely on expensive one off fabrications. Let's face it, how many of us can afford a Barrett Jackson $100K muscle car? Not me. If anybody has an idea for a new part or any feedback on what we are doing, I am all ears! By the way, we are starting with carbon fiber, but we are designing and engineering other parts like low profile hood pins, billet pieces and LED lighting. I want to make sure these part are right before I put them into production. Our web site should be done in the coming week (some coding issues), so thank you for your patience!

Best, Matt

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention AJ, I have the same idea for the stripes. I plan to make everything that gets rally stripes on '70-'73 Camaros in carbon fiber which will allow anybody to mask off the stripe area and paint the rest of the parts body color. I plan to do this with the Jason Wyrick '73 and with my '69 as well which will be black for a carbon fiber ghost stripe look. The difficult piece for first gen is the filler panel between the back glass and deck lid since it is welded in place. It's screwed on for second gen, so no problem there. I would like to get a consensus about which header panel to make for the second gen first, standard or RS?
