WTB SS or cowl hood for 3rd gen Z28 - North East F-Body Association

BOTTLEDZ28 · #1 04-26-2011, 12:47 PM

I am looking for a bolt on cowl hood or SS hood for my 91 camaro. Willing to travel up to 100 miles or so to pick it up. I am located in Southeastern Mass. Hood must be in good usable shape. I do NOT want cowl hood scoops or stock hoods that have been modified. Thanks.

Yes but it took flight last year while driving down the highway. The hood delaminated and I lost the top section. I went back and picked it out of the woods the next day but it needs to be glued back together and the glue I need it almost $400 because I have to buy by the case and I need a special gun to shoot it out.

I tried but they said it was over a year old. They offered to send me another one at 10% off.

if you need the 3M gun i have it AND i would use a few tubes of 3M panel bond and clamp it for 2 days and it will be better then new.

^ this. I 100% agree. If the top section survived it's flight relatively unscathed just do that and save the money.

Unless you were looking for a change

Thanks. I found this site last night that has a few different epoxies and sealers. I am going to call Eastwood today and see what they have. I want to take the cheapest way out right now. I will also be putting some hood pins on the hood this time around so if anyone feels like making some suggestions on them then please feel free to do so. I do NOT want those gay ass chrome ones. I'm looking for a aircraft quality stainless low profile design.
