Canuck Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 https://www.opgi.com/sheet-metal-body-panels/hood/1970-72-custom-steel-hoods/m240303.html No photo but listing the part. First time I’ve seen a reproduction steel cowl hood. The details state that it is a Chevelle style bump and is available in functional or non-functional.

DragCat Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 I'm wondering how big is the "bump". Ive seen other cowl hoods listed there and other places that state a 3 inch / 4 inch. I guess for people looking for more clearance https://www.opgi.com/sheet-metal-body-panels/hood/hood-fiberglass1/hood-fiberglass-1970-72-monte-carlo-4-inch-cowl-induction-m200009.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted February 11, 2020 Author Share Posted February 11, 2020 The description says it is the Chevelle style bump and details that the Chevelle rear edge hood molding will fit this hood. Based on the description it will look like this: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC1of80 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Speaking personally for the glasteck hood, it is 4". The hood that Canuck is posting is described to be like the pic he posted. We will have to wait for a pic. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
502ci Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I am dying to see what it looks like when they finally post pictures...underside too. Best pics will come from someone who buys it and reviews it for us...😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71454SS Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Does anyone remember Steve from NY who made a functional cowl hood. From scratch. Amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cny first gen 71 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Not this Steve from NY I don't have that kind of talent. Robert did make one, he grafted a Chevelle hood to a Monte hood and it came out real good but was a lot of work. I'd like a 2 inch cowl hood on mine but not willing to pay $600.00 for it.

Rob Peters Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Stan (iceman) from Pennsylvania made a beautiful fully functional one. rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Boyte Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 I hope the length of the cowl is proportionate with the length of the hood. The Chevelle cowl is proportionate for the length of the Chevelle hood . Grafting one from a Chevelle , Not so proportionate to The length of a Monte Carlo hood. However I have seen a few that I thought looked really nice , Especially compared to the stock original . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy's Auto Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 If you figure they did a steel G Body cowl twenty years ago, it's a bout time. Its about time to freshen up the 71 anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72 Monte Carlo Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I called and talked to OPGI and asked when they thought that these hoods will be available. She said that the manufacturer told them 30-90 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Boyte Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Once again , The cowl BUMP is just that...a bump. To me the length of the cowl does not look proportional to the long Monte hood. Look at the Chevelle cowl hood and the Camaro, They look proportional to the length of each hood. I am glad that they are at least trying . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nancy Hanson Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 OPG is now showing the stock hood for 70-72. Who ever buys one of these hoods please make sure to share the fit with us. Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nancy Hanson Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 I know about the cowl hood. They now offer the stock hood without the cowl. Just like the one our montes came with. And yes there is a picture of it on their web site. Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob I guess it's much the easier to copy someone else's work, as opposed to actually designing and engineering a more proportionate cowl hood. The little short cowl (functional or not) does not look proportionate to the long hood, To me it looks just like a Chevelle graft. I see very little progress in the design !

dave m Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 hi when I did my car 10 years ago my body man grafted a 1969 z/28 cowl to my stock hood at the time it was less expensive the modifying the avail 4" fiberglass and I did not want lift off. it is fully functionable I also like the length and the hood center line follows thru the scoop to the rear. I use the under hood mat but would not have to it looks like it came that way dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC-71 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Looking at the first picture doesn’t appeal to me but the side picture looks better. I was really thinking about buying one. I think I will wait. I wish they would make that scoop in a longer version so you could add it to your own hood. I have two extra hoods in storage for years. The search begins. Any input where to buy that scoop would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
