His anyone ever seen a hood on a camaro open backwards like vet. I was woundering if it was posable possible to do so on a fiberglass hood without cracking it. if anyone has seen it before let me know!

oh ya and do you think I could use the same hings?

vettemaan · 01-31-2004, 03:28 PM

why would you want to do that anyway, makes it alot harder to work on

Davecamaro86 · 01-31-2004, 03:40 PM

I understand that but its just cooler! Don't you think? your the one with the VETT, don't you think when you open your hood and stand back and stare don't you think your car looks fucking AWESOME?!

i think its an awsome show idea, or maybe after you have all the work done that you want. it would create a problem of workin on the car, but then again, when you went to pop the hood and everyone around you is standing at the front waitin to lift it, and you tell em the latch is in the back, you'll get an awsome reaction...

well, it would be kinda cool, you could probly custom mount the hinges on the front, and the hood of a vette is a fiberglass one, so i dont see why that wuold make it more difficult, but definately cant use the stock springs from the camaro. they put too much stress on the hood. they do sell weaker springs for fiberglass hoods.

my hings now don't have springs they have pistons and they work fine on the back of my fiber hood.

Im not too familiar with your generations hood and where you could mount stuff, have any pics of the radiator aeara?

i think it'd be cooler if the hood was cut in half and each side opened from the middle

Davecamaro86 · 02-01-2004, 12:04 PM

there's an idea??????????????????????????

89IROC&RS · 02-01-2004, 12:55 PM

i would only recomend that idea fora show car, yeah, it would be cool, but how you wuold rig it so it wouldnt flap open, and rattle and shake at 130mph, dunno boss

Davecamaro86 · 02-01-2004, 01:57 PM

I was thinking hood pins? No?

Chevyracincamaro · 02-01-2004, 03:28 PM

i dont think that the radiator support would be strong enough to support a hood would it?
