thanks..... haha maybe you should have made your own jk but i like my hood and its home made so its just one more thing i can say that i made

Re: 1988 chevy resto project
 

:lol: I know exactly what you mean; washing the windshield is a two-handed job.

I'm definitely digging the homemade hood -- nice work!

Re: 1988 chevy resto project
 

Yeah I want to but my dad had it on the truck before I got it

I wanna do a four inch one but I'll deal with the wiper arm for
now that last on my list

Re: 1988 chevy resto project
 

Wow, that donor truck had a tough life. Project is looking good.

Re: 1988 chevy resto project
 

That's what I was thinking. I'd still take it over a Ford. :chevy:

Re: 1988 chevy resto project
 

TOTALLLLLLY TRUE :lol: :chevy:

Re: 1988 chevy resto project
 

haha it still ran and drove just fine but it had no brakes but i needed the motor so i yanked at and now it sits in my truck with a mild cam and headers with and edelbrock carb and intake

Re: 1988 chevy resto project
 

what all did you have to do to go carbed?

I have an intake and carb. Did you use a mech fuel pump or the electric one?

Re: 1988 chevy resto project
 

im running the fuel pump on the side on the motor the mech one and i didnt convert the truck to carb'd when i bought it it was carb'd i just went with the flow and put another carb'd motor in it i still have all the wiring there to go to tbi but i like carb'd better

Re: 1988 chevy resto project
 

Since I am a welder and a fabricator... I am going to give this a shot... I am going to do something different and we shall see if it passes my wuality control...

I am thinking a different looking and different way of mounting it... I will leave the rest as a surprise and guys can compare my hood to yours.. Cheers for the idea! Good luck on the build man!

Re: 1988 chevy resto project

Re: 1988 chevy resto project

Re: 1988 chevy resto project
 

and some more pics

Re: 1988 chevy resto project
 

that cowl hood looks awsome man. i think you gave me an idea for my truck. beats spending a few hundred buck when you can do it yourself.

Re: 1988 chevy resto project

Re: 1988 chevy resto project
