ANVil 2nd gen parts
 

I finally have protoype parts to show you guys for 2nd gen Camaro. I mounted them on my car to show how they fit and look. I know it's been a long time coming, but we are finally ready for production. I wanted to get feedback especially on the hood design as well as to see how many people want to buy some parts, so I can ge an idea of how many to make for the first production run.

Best, MaTT

Put me down for a trunk and rear filler/ not to put down the hood it looks great just not my taste. are you going to come out with any other hoods soon? if so put me down for all three. :thumbsup:

quality looks great matt and fit looks super but dont care for the hood "lump" at all...
that is a super shinny top coat though!!!!!

Although it may not be for everyone, I think you really need to see it in person. It really "fits" the car. I think one problem is that we are so used to seeing a cowl hood on everything that one becomes acustomed to seeing only that. I figured if you are gont to spring for a cf hood, why not have something that looks different than everyone else? That's why we did this design first. We are thinking of doing a hood that has a 70 Chevelle cowl scoop grafted onto it. What do you think?

How about a '67 Chevelle hood with the SS loovers on it :D

Your CF parts are works of art!

i do really like the side profile look of it but the front view looks weird to me...but as far as cowls go i dont like them on 2nd gen... i like the flat hood on these cars just cleaner clearance sucks.
i agree with you as a consumer and someone who like to be different but as a buisness perspective even though i dont like cowls on these car i think that would probally be the best seller if you made that mold. there is a green 70-73 that has a hood with the 70 chevelle cowl...
its in the same PHR that your 2nd is in when jason still owned it. it was the reader photo contest issue.

how about a front on shot of it with the camera looking level to the car?

I think once we get our Rs nose on it and paint off the carbon fiber rally stripes, it will all come together. It's hard to please everyone and sometimes I'm just doing stuff for myself. Being a designer I have a hard time producing something that goes against my aesthetic judgment, but there have been a lot of second gen hoods sold with a cowl induction scoop, so it usually comes down to a business decision. I think the standard hood is nice, but most people are asking for extra hood clearance (some want 4" or more!). I am attempting to appease the hood clearance issue while making a custom looking hood that is in keeping with the styling of the car. Maybe making the bulge into a working scoop thus providing a functional aspect to the design? Comments are welcome.

I think it looks pretty good. Like you noted, Matt, you can already buy cowl hoods for 2nd Gens, so bringing something unique to market makes the most sense.

Personally, I think you need to take some traditional angle shots of the car/hood. Front 3/4 and rear 3/4 shots with the whole car in the image so we can see how the hood lines flow with the whole car. :thumbsup:

Thanks, Scott!

Here's a link to a lot more shots. They're admittedly not the best shots, but it's what I could do over the weekend inbetween family stuff. I'll post better shots when I get a breather:

just looking back to the choices that you have would think that 1,2,5&6 would be great hoods ans #2 would sell the best clean and what ppl want from what i can tell( but its not my buisness to sy whats good or bad) but would think that if you made any of the others they would be sold quick just my 2 cents

Carbon fiber 2nd gen pieces
 

Man those look GREAT! Im saving up for a hood for my 72 Z. If you offer one like #2 in the illustrations, Id buy one of those!:thumbsup:

Sweet Matt we gotta have those for our 70!!!

just to clear up some thing for Matt those pice that are numberd are just the ideas that he has and are not made yet.

My favorite hood scoop for a 2nd Gen is definetly a L88 scoop.

Here's a link to a quick shot I took of our instrument panel prototype. It's still not quite right, but I hope to get it into production soon.

Hey Guys the hood looks killer in person! The quality of workmanship is the best I've seen.

Matt, keep up the great work!

Anvil
Any chance you will make a 2nd gen hood with L88 scoop?

Tonny

Tonny,

Probably not, since I got a lot of negative feedback on that idea, We will be making a flat hood and maybe a cowl induction hood next.

WOOT WOOT a cowl hood i cant wait :cheers:

I would definately buy one that looks like #6 in the pic for my 79 Camaro. If not a cowl would be cool too.:thumbsup:

will there be any ANVIL parts for 2nd Gen at columbus goodguys?
thanks
Mike

Good Guys Columbus
 

I will be bringing Anvils First Gen Parts to Columbus They will be in the HoodPins booth. I will have order sheets for all of their parts. Come visit the HoodPins booth to see these truly outstanding parts.

Mike,

Ron Wilson will have some 1st gen parts at his Hoodpins booth, but the only
2nd gen parts there will be our fender braces since we're just ramping up production on the 2nd gen stuff now.

C F hood
 

Dont go crazy on the height, a 2 1/2 to 3 inch rise is tall enough. Id prefer the 2 1/2 myself. Im running a big block carbed an theres no way I could fit it under a stock hood. A hood like the #2 illustrated with a 2 1/2 cowl would be perfect. Just my 2 cents. Thanks!

You should make the three spoiler, and front air dam I would definently buy that!!!
