New Cowl Hood for my Silverado

[04silveradomykk]

December 25th I ordered myself a Christmas present. Good thing I did, I got some wack qifts this year. Even my girlfriend gave me sweat pants and a Tshirt...:twitch:

Here is a pic from the EBay auction I purchased the hood from

Well it finally arrived today 1/07/08, almost two weeks later. And it's the wrong hood! Well, it's right that it's for my application. But it's the wrong style. I wanted the small valley in the cowl and I was shipped a cowl hood with the large valley. But **** it, I don't want to wait any longer. So I'll just live with it. The hood arrived flawless from shipping yet had a few dings from the stamping process to make the steel hood. So I filled & blocked the dings and now getting it ready for paint

In roughly two weeks she'll be done and on the truck... it'll have about a total of $600.00 in it for a complete color matched steel cowl hood

[Bone Crusher]

I think I like the wrong one better

[04silveradomykk]

x2. i like the split look better on your body style truck more than the solid lookin one. it flows better with the body lines. that is a very clean shop. i wish i had one...all i have is a carport with a dirt floor...oh yeah...and ym buddies shop he owns that has a sky lift and every tool you need...hehe. might need it in the near future:)

sweeeeeeeeet, lookin awseome man! i need to get me a 2" cowl for mine

[chevybrat]

Nice. Can't wait to see pics of it painted and installed. I really want a cervini's twin scoop hood. Will likely take a long time to save up to afford one with shipping and painting though :-[ They want $525 on their site and then around $150 shipping... plus painting.

I love the look of a cowl induction hood. I am thinking about getting one for my black Cameo, I have one on my white one. The 69 camaros and chevelles really looked awesome with those hoods from the factory!

[TreasonAgainstCaesar]

looks sweet. I'd complain to the seller and see if they would give you a little money back or something. Kind've one of those "pain and suffering" type law suits.

[Mikz86TA]

Sweet. I like it...kinda reminds me of a IROC-type-ish vents. Maybe 91-92 Z28 blisters that were about that far apart. RU painting it yourself?

[87wildside]

Do you have a link to the ebay store? Looks quality.

[Y NI Rider]

The wrong one looks nice. Cant whait to see your truck with the hood painted. then your gonna have to change your pic.

[04silveradomykk]

Got the underneath painted. Now to flip it over and shoot the rest. Should be completed and mounted this Friday the 18th. Than go take some updated photos this weekend... when the weather gets warmer my girl is going do some modeling shots ( bikini, shorts...etc) with my truck

Believe it or not, the orange peel is intensional. Factory paint jobs have massive orange peel over entire vehicles, and since we're painting one body panel and not the whole truck we were trying to match the Factory orange peel.

Looking good..

[bespurcell]

Sweet!

[Blazer69]

looks nice.....will look even better on the truck...lol

Put the hood on during my lunch break today at work. Still need to battle about 100 fish eyes in the clear, even hair & dirt was trapped under the clear. So we'll see what happens...
