CamaroHood

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!

Re: CamaroHood

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...

Re: CamaroHood

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.

Re: CamaroHood

Re: CamaroHood

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

Re: CamaroHood

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