LSA Powered 69 Camaro -"Lou's Change"

[Lous69]

Thanks Syborg TT, for the tip on the ACS aftermarket version of the ZL1 hood scoop.

We think we're going to opt for the exposed carbon fiber look of the factory scoop.

Unfortunately, GM is pretty proud of that scoop and is pricing it accordingly.

There is a guy on Camaro5 that makes a full carbon version at 1/4 the price of GM's

Awesome hood choice!

Adam at V8TV did a terrific job fabricating the hood modifications and the core support cover. He is rather humble and was sure to give a lot of credit to his team mates, including Nathan who also knows how to convince metal to do amazing things.

Here are some pics of his work making templates and building the custom hood:


















And here is the result of his skilled handy work!!!!





You will notice that the rib that runs down the center of the valance panel and hood were also removed to make the new hood look like it belongs. We're really happy with the way it turned out.

Next he tackled the core support cover. Here is the rendering he started with:


A little siphering....



And bingo!
