Anyone know what kind of latch that is on the left of the pin latch and I'm guessing they're two latches but work at the same time?

:D excited

I really wanted to do the whole area like oem. I am not sure how to match the inner hood to the body where the weather strip would sit but I'm really stuck on doing it. I'm thinking of putting the hood where it should be, turn the body upside down and construct the weather strip flange all around.

Yep... it's time!

Bart contacted me today for my payment and shipping info, so it should be an day now. 

The parts looks awesome and they'll be a really nice finish touch on the G28's.  He has a lot of time, materials and money wrapped up in this project so let's make it worth his while and follow through with the purchases.  I feel personally responsible for this project therefore I'll ask that no one splashes these panels, since it's an original part that Bart has made for us.

Be sure to post pictures as you get the panels and mount them to your hoods.  I'm curious to see the different ways that you guys use them with and without internal framework.  I'm also looking for tips from anyone that mounts their hood to open like an original and the type of hinges, shocks and hold down latches they use.  I have at least three different types of hinges here and I'm undecided which set to go with.  ::counfused

Chris have you heard from Bart? He said all of the parts were ready to be shipped, last he told me he couldn't find any boxes to ship them in then he was just going to tape boxes together and I haven't heard anything since no replies to my emails  ::scratch

I talked to him about being the 1st in line since I'd originally asked him to take on this project.  He asked for my address and I get excited every time I hear the Fed Ex or UPS truck in the neighborhood.   ::bounce

I don't think he's officially taken any orders yet.  I've tried a couple times to offer a deposit and he's politely turned it down for now.  I'm guessing he's wanting to knock out all the kinks first and turn out a quality panel and then start taking the orders.  Just remember everyone that these are for the G28 bodies and he's starting with an OEM style inner panel and stretching it out to fit our hoods.  This may force you to use original mounting points that will be molded into the hood so you may need to rethink your hinges and hood latches / locations.  Personally I think it's for it if you are early enough along in your build and having a "finished looking" hood will be a nice touch to your project.

I'm first in line since I asked first!  :)

Thanks,

Chris

You can ask bartman on MM he might make you one who knows
I think the hardest part was just making the modified inner hood, I doubt he's just gonna throw it out once he's made ours.

Yep, I contacted him last week and he told me about some things that have slowed up progress however he's still on track for getting us some panels soon.  From everything I've heard of the quality of his parts.. these will so be worth the wait.  :)
