Anvil Chevelle Hood 72 Model
 
I know the carbon fiber hood is coming out but does anyone have spy photos of it installed on yet on a 72 chevelle????

Matt@BOS 04-13-2010 08:19 PM
Have you tried asking Tyler? I hear he is like Brenda Priddy when it comes to getting spy shots of Anvil parts... Just know because he is like her the spy photos might fetch a pretty penny.

No spy shots as of yet. The tooling isn't done. I'll post when we have the first part in hand to show you all.

Tyler

brans72 04-14-2010 11:04 AM
Thanks Tyler! I called you couple weeks ago asking about it and for sure I do need a hood after see what was under the paint. I can not wait to see the pictures.

The WidowMaker 04-14-2010 11:10 AM
tyler, did you guys ever weigh the chevelle hood? what do you expect the full carbon and carbon/glass hoods to weigh?

im looking for a paint grade if you guys ever get one.

damn im strong...... maybe i'll dig mine out tomorrow and see, unless someone else has a number. my guess is somewhere in the 85-100lb range. my wife helped me put it on last time, and theres no way shes lifting more than 50 lbs as easy as she did. but then again, maybe.

Yea me either. I am still in need of some lower torsion hood springs as well. Also not sure if the stock torsion bars for the trunk will be ok to use with the carbon deck lid.

i shot all of my sample colors today, so i had to dig the hood out anyways. drum roll............ 75lbs. now i had to sort of balance it on the scale since my 225+ the hood exceeded the scales limit, but i did it more than once and that should be pretty damn close.

there was a thread on the camaro forum about a guy that used shocks and got rid of his trunk torsion springs. he was then able to pop the trunk and have it open under some control, instead of flying open as it does in stock form. all that was required was the weight of our deck lid and the formula did the rest. i eventually will get there.......

75lbs. WOW! I wonder what the weight of the carbon hood will be? That shock seems like a trick idea. We'll see what I plan on doing when the parts come in.

buickfunnycar.com 04-16-2010 01:54 PM
Man...I woulda swore it was over 100#'s.
My guess on the c/f part is 24-28#'s.

brans72 04-16-2010 04:27 PM
I say we gang up and get a group purchase on a batch of Carbon Fiber Chevelle hoods from Anvil! So who is coming with me :D

The WidowMaker 04-16-2010 06:35 PM
im in, but probably for a carbon/glass hood since it will be fully painted anyways. lets see what happens.

brans72 04-16-2010 06:41 PM
That is 2 for the carbon/glass hoods now! Let's keep it going :lateral:

Anvil is tooling off of my hood, deck lid, and a-pillars, so technically I will be getting them in trade. So count me out, otherwise i'd definitely be in.

brans72 04-17-2010 06:20 PM
You better hope your parts are 110% straight buddy or the lench mob will be coming after you :lol: just Joking. So your gonna give us spy photos huh :D

Yea I hear that. The car is pretty straight. Matt and Tyler came down to San Diego to get a close up look of the car and they deemed it good enough to tool off of. Once I see anything I will let you guys know, that is if i'm allowed. lol Anvil has had the parts since the middle of December last year, so I am hoping it is nearing a completion date. This San Diego heat is giving me the itch to drive her again.

Viperlover 04-21-2010 05:52 PM
I wonder how a carbon hood would go with my cyber gray metallic...
Though I don't see a market for the 70-72 monte hoods any time soon.

brans72 04-21-2010 06:43 PM
Vince you will need to hand over the the pictures as soon as you get them or we will have to hunt you down to get it, since we are dying to see this hood!!!! Come on guy's let get some more intersted in this!!! Brandon

Which cowl hood are they making? The factory cowl hhod minus the flapper door? That would be the hood I'd be interested in! And a trunk lid!

Nope. Probably gonna be a while. They have had it since the middle of December, and all I heard from Matt was that it was taking longer then planned because of the size and what not.

Vince

brans72 04-28-2010 08:43 PM
Dang we better get a good deal just for the wait :rofl: well hopefully.

The WidowMaker 04-29-2010 09:26 PM
please tell me that they are making it without the trim on the rear edge??????

not sure about that. I hope so. That trim will throw off the whole carbon look!

The WidowMaker 05-11-2010 03:35 PM
update?

Teetoe_Jones 05-12-2010 10:26 AM
Tooling being made right now. First parts will come out of the mold shortly.

Tyler

214Chevy 05-12-2010 11:00 AM
Any ballpark price?? Sorry if this question has been asked in the thread. I didn't feel like reading thru all the pages. I just scanned thru them to see if any pics were there and lost interest. LOL!!

214Chevy 05-12-2010 02:13 PM
Put me in line for it. I want it!!!!!

70chevelle406 05-13-2010 02:19 PM

Hey Tyler,

Whats the progress looking like on the deck lid and a-pillars?

Teetoe_Jones 05-13-2010 03:52 PM
It's all being done at the same time. Everything will be ready together. No pricing for any of it as we need to see how much material we use in each mold and how long it takes to make each one. Soon young Jedi.

Tyler

The WidowMaker 05-15-2010 04:29 PM
what about the back lip on the hood for the moulding. did you smooth it?

The WidowMaker 06-09-2010 11:26 PM
keeping it alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
