I'm not sure that I've mentioned what I'm doing with my car right now. A couple months ago i got some real bad hail damage and ended up getting a $1900 check from my insurance. I'm fixing the damage myself and painting the whole car bright orange metallic by summit racing. Right now I'm working on sanding it down and prepping it. My hood was screwed so I got myself a new Trufiber 4" cowl hood off ws6store for $500 shipped. I'm pumped to get this done! I'll be doing a black berger panel, black behind the t-tops roof thing (dont know the technical name :p ) and black stripes on the side of the cowl.
is the hood entirely open at the back? you worried about rain water any? or is the cowl tight enough to the window you don't think pooling is going to be an issue?
yes I am, I'm gonna be building a paint booth with clear plastic to paint it in
I was told by a painter I know not to use plastic for the roof, just in case the paint collects and drips on the project. Dunno how true it was, I wouldnt figure there would be enough overspray to do that, but you never know.

It's vented in 2 spots not entirely open, so i dont think it should be a problem.

I will be using plastic on the roof and floor bc my shed is pretty dusty. I'll have intake and exhaust fans for ventilation too though.
The thing is you dont need a cowl hood, shoulda bought a stock hood and used the extra money for wheels and a cam or soemthing. Looks sick, but also makes the car look like it should run 10s atleast
I would have bought wheels or something else instead. Hood is overkill on a mostly stock v6. That's just my opinion.

at least I didn't put an SS hood on my v6. It's not like a cowl hood is meant for an 8. I guess you can call my car mostly stock since it has full bolt on's and 4.10's, lol.
Haven’t done anything on the Camaro, but put LEDs on my truck headlights . And my oil pressure sensor went out on the truck so going to fix that this...
