You got the stock black ss hood bad 00 ss?

If or when you purchase the VFN hood will you be selling that hood?

spud: Yes, I have the stock SS hood on my black 00 SS, but no, I highly doubt I will be selling it...every mod I do, I'm keeping the original parts...I may not even change to the VFN hood, but I prob. will to get that "bad" look I'm looking for...if I do go to sell it, however, I will personally contact your name...


Later, Mikie

I have the VFN hood.
See sig for pix.
I am waiting until it is painted til I take underside pics. Can't see crap when it's all black. Not the most attractive underside, but it's fine. At least it's a functional cowl and gets rid of ALOT of excess heat.

You can call and order one now.

My buddy Henry was the prototype car a while back and we are picking up his hood on Saturday.

VFN was back and forth regarding what grill to use, since the OEM LT1 grill was planned for use and it's turning out to be a bit pricey.

FYI we picked up Henry's VFN SS hood on Saturday... A few final facts regarding the hoods...

1) They are now for sale.
2) They are going to get grills made by a supplier since the GM OEM LT1 grill is too expensive unless you don't mind spending an extra $50 when you order the grill.
3) The hood is 3 inches, not 4 inches. Unlike the 4" ram hood that we helped on, the 3" SS hood is more refined and is not huge looking at all.
4) We hope to have painted and installed pics of the hoods on Henry's black Z in the next few weeks...

Ok you say we can order them, thats good, but when can we get them to my bodyshop??

If not now, they can take are money but not deliver? I was supposed to be on the list to be notified but somehow i think this list is hoha...

I want this hood, can we have an actual rep of vfn chime in on this and say an actual time frame? I will easily put in 50 bucks for the grill if i can get one NOW!

Thanks for the info john , but i need some confirmation, my car got an accident a month ago, i repainted the whole car and still waiting on a hood, as you can see im antsy!

Yes this hood is now available for purhase, we did not want to sell any until we had test fit them and had solved our grill situation, we are going to have the grills produced for us from a plastics company, if you guys want the hoods we can send the grills later, we do have some of these hoods made and can start shipping them this week.
thanks
Jeanie
