Bad picture of my 67 Panel with Cowl Hood - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Classic Heartbeat** · 01-03-2003, 03:22 AM

Well it is a bad picture... It wasn't taken with my digetal camera, but it is a scan of one taken with my nikon. What do you think? I like it better than the standard hood even though it hasn't been painted yet. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

Watch out those hoods are addictive!!! Looking good time to drive her here and drop it off. Mom did get you the new suspension parts I hope for Christmas? LOL I bet your still up from yesterday and here I am just starting my day.

Ya Paul, your right about that... I didn't get the suspention parts either...LOL I got a parts catolog organizer and a neon "OPEN" sign...Hehehe!! I think someone is trying to kick me out of my office..LOL I need to make a drive down to Oregon in the morning to pick up a Short Fleetside bed that I have sold to another customer, so I should hit the hay soon.... Hope all is well with you and your family.

man i'm not into panel but that look very cool. it's the cowl it make a huge impression. so whats next? what color are you thinking on painting it? Are you thinking on tubbing it? i think some 15 inch wide tires in the back would make jaws drop.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 01-03-2003, 04:23 AM

Thanks Alexis, Naw, I'm not going to tub it... I have a 72 Suburban Chassis I am fixing up and lowering to set the body on and I plan on painting it "Caddilac White Diamond". Then it will get Pearl Blue ghost flames on the front that will go back about half way into the doors and about 3 coats of clear then my logo will be applied where you would normally see windows on a suburban. Then a couple more coats of clear over that... 18" wheels, Big Block 396, 700R4 transmission, full electric and leather high back bucket seats with air lumbar. I will also be installing a front and rear air system as soon as I find one and a few other necessaties that I will probly think of along the way. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

I've always wanted a cowl hood for my blazer. Whats the best fiberglass cowl or is US Body source the only option? I really would love to do like Scott did and get a carbon fiber hood made! "Dream, Dream!" LOL

**1971Stepside** · 01-03-2003, 11:20 AM

I'm with you Wes, I like the standard hoods.

70c10 · 01-03-2003, 01:23 PM

Can't wait to see it finished!. Those blue pearl ghost flames are going to look sweet on white.

Dean23 · 01-03-2003, 07:51 PM

nice hood have the same on my 68

barn9 · 01-03-2003, 07:57 PM

I like it! I think the cowl hood and flames will help balance out the look of the large rear end, he-hee.

landon4421 · 01-03-2003, 08:16 PM

Looks tough ! Though I like the stock hoods !! But it looks cool on the panel !! Keep up the good work ..
