I think you should fabricate a chrome SS hood scoop grille insert or a billet one...TONS of people want one of these ever since afterthoughts stopped production on their "chrome" ones...whoever decides to sell these will def. make a good buck on volume alone...
also...a good idea is to make a mirror kit for the underside of a camaro SS hood...they have them for the T/A's and Z28's and none for the poor camaro SS...
you make any of this stuff...u def. have my business along with many others i suspect...

I can do fiberglass, carbon fiber, and some metal workings depending on the work.
Anyways lets just hear what you guys want

I need a new driver's side door panel ... camel color ... for a 2001 Trans Am. Been having a hell of a time finding a replacement one. How much would it cost me to get a whole new one fabricated?

Thanks for the pics of the bird of prey

the chrome grill inserts and mirror cut-outs for the SS would not be a problem at all. Just have to get the dimensions, and fabricate them up. As soon as I get enough orders for those I will go ahead and start cranking them out. So get together a bunch of people who want them and I will fulfill your request.

mongoos : yes those can be done very easily.
abidar : If you are serious I have already started the mold and will be starting the fiberglass or carbon fiber of the hoods, as soon as I get some orders in and know which you prefer.

Killer LS1 : on the Mecham hood I am doing the heat extractor with a raptor/firehawk front nostrils. When I had my Mecham I always wanted the same thing, so its nice I can give it to you guys now.
GM Muscle : as far as the blue camaro above's hood goes I am already in the process of making the mold for that one.
01 Red WS6: on the spoiler I am looking at about 300.00, and the interior pieces I will do them for the cost of materials plus about 65.00 for labor. let me know.
Here is the thing guys, I know everyone likes carbon fiber, as do I. Carbon fiber is very expensive, and it has been my past experience everyone wants it because it is so lightweight and sturdy but no one wants to pay for it. If you guys could get together about 4-5 people who would like their hoods fabricated out of carbon fiber and actually have the money to shell out I would go ahead and order the carbon fiber to design the hoods, but I would require half of the funds up front before buying the carbon fiber. Bare in mind though those hoods would go for nothing less than 975.00 depending on the type of hood constructed, as that could be a lot of carbon fiber to use.
