Re: Targa Top Z28 Phenominal looking Camaro! All of your hard work paid off in spades...
I never thought I'd say 20" rims on a f-body looks good, BUT those wheels look great. I think it's a result of the wide spokes. A set of 20" y2k C5 rims (non-existant) wouldn't look very good since they have thin spokes.
Kudos to you!

Re: Targa Top Z28 The hood is my own design, it is full CF, and weighs about 12-13 lbs. It's hinged in the back and pinned in the front. I pulled all the latch and associated brackets out of the front for more weight savings.
I have the tooling to make the hood on my car, or a stock flat one in CF.
It took about 50lbs off the nose of the car total. I've got a picture of me holding it up with one finger in my film camera... I'll post it when I get them developed.

Re: Targa Top Z28 OK I'll be the next guy to ask. WHERE DID YOU GET THAT HOOD? It almost looks like carbon Fiber. Please email me any info on it if it is CF. I have been looking EVERYWHERE for one and come up empty every time.
Killer ride too <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Targa Top Z28 I read somewhere that you'd make more hoods, so my question to you is this: How much would you sell them for? Inquiring minds want to know! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Targa Top Z28 Beautiful car man!
Who makes that hood? It looks so much better than the old style cowl scoop. It goes with our body lines much better.
TIA

Re: Targa Top Z28 I'm not sure if this was already discussed or not. I don't feel like reading the entire post again.
Do you plan on upgrading the stock braking system? Some nice wilwood brakes or baer with eradispeeds would look great behind those rims.
