84 Z-28 tribute extractor hood
I’ve decided to make an extractor hood that mimics the original 84 Z-28 hood. I picked up a flat hood at the salvage yard for $40, so there’s not a lot of cash outlay, just my time.

Ready to cut

Demurred and prepped for welding

Welding finished. The concept has become clear compared to the original hood.

Thank you, I wanted to do something no one else had done. I think it will be another unique part of my very unique project.

Ok.....that's pretty damn cool. Great work, and excellent idea! It looks like it totally belongs, yet completely custom and one off. Very, very awesome.

Sneek peek of a different approach on the same theme.


I wanted something a little more aggressive.
