MC-71 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Has anyone bought the cowl hood from OPG? I surely wound like to know how it fits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I saw someone post these photos on Facebook. He ordered it from The Parts Place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cny first gen 71 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I don't think it's long enough but that's my opinion. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC1of80 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I don't have an opinion on the scoop/bulge yet but the hood itself, lines, bends and shape look really good. Did they mention how the quality is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Boyte Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Sure does look like a chevelle graft !! Way to short for me ! At least they are trying . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that FB page, I think someone said the cowl itself is the same size as the Chevelle. That being said, the Monte hood is longer so it isn't proportional, looks a little short to me as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I like it. Probably close to what GM would have done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 It would be interesting to have some feedback on the fit. The gaps side to side look like they may be acceptable, but it looks like they have the driver's side bumpers up too high in the front.

jim's 70 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Just started looking at this hood. I’m ok with the cowl being a lil short, as long as the fit is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC-71 Posted November 13, 2020 Author Share Posted November 13, 2020 You can buy this hood at the Parts Place and Jegs. Golden Star makes them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragCat Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 A friend sent me this from Daytona, I like the hood. He'll be there tomorrow and ask, he said the people he talked to other sites not OPGI are all backordered on their hoods and he doesn't know anyone who has purchased a new one.

Dtret Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Cowl is to high on that one should be a 1 1/2 to 2 inches. I like the length better in the green one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jft69z Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I agree, way too tall. Length would be good if it was split between the both of them. Then it would look proportional to the long hood, imho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragCat Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I agree, its too tall but its a big tire car so who knows what they're hiding under there lol. I think the length is more proportional too, I'm going to venture a guess that its not an off the shelf hood lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still too long though, unless there's a couple of turbos packed up there in the front 😁. Clean looking car though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be needed on that car though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC1of80 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 The green Monte pictured has a Glastek 4 1/2 bolt on fiberglass hood. Had one. Wish I still did sometimes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
