Default New Sunoco Hood

Hi Guys.
Just wanted to get some pictures up with the progress we have made on the new molds.
We think it's coming along nicely - let us know what you think. The height is 2 3/4", it may look a little taller in the pics, but it's hard to get an exact angle on it.

Impressive, makes me remember when I stopped by your shop to pick up the hood for my '94.

Only problem this hood creates is now I'm not sure if I should get your SS hood or the Sunoco.

looks great, but i still think it could use a little more rounding on the sides of the cowl. the corner created by the sides of the cowl and the top seems a little sharper than the original. i think that may help it flow a little better with the lines of the camaro'. but it is looking awesome, very very close to the original, cant wait to see some pics of it painted on a car!

how 'bout $2500? i'm just kiddin around (of course)....I'm sorry but i still do not have a price on the hoods - yet. very soon - i promise, and it will be MUCH less then the $2500.00 - somewhere in the range of our 4" ws6 and ss style hoods.
We are hoping for next month - but that depends on if we get the "go ahead" from everyone here. from that point we can finish up the molds, get 'em fitted and start selling them....we definately want to make sure that we have everything right on this hood.
Jimm~ sorry about that.
Thanks.
Jeanie

agreed. Looks WAY better than the last one though. Just a bit more topside rounding, and that'll be it. I have my funding set aside, so when they are ready, I am too!! Thank you VFN Tech!!

For comparison purposes, does anyone know approximately how tall this version of the Sunoco hood is?:



Also, have you decided there will be no line down the center of your hood?
