Does anyone have pics of cars with Norm's hood on them? I like the way they look but would like to see more angles of the car than what he has on his site. Thanks in advance

Wish I had some pictures for you. I was lucky enough to go visit Norm and his shop and see his work up close. his hood is incredible.
This is Ben Chapman (Homie_Telefragged)s car. This is how it started... The last pic is my current project. Ben stopped by to show me how to post these pictures, but I ended up letting him do it instead. I should have the nose on by next week or so. I'll have pics as soon as they're on. Thanks, Norm

I strayed away from the thought of getting Norms nose (personal pref.)
But I'm liking the looks of it all over again... Its starting to grow on me... How hard would this nose be to install...?
Oh, and Norm... Do you come to Carlisle, if so... Can you bring a nose along...
PM me please...
Also, you ppl that live on Photoshop... Could you PS a Fastback with norms nose and make it white...? please... Thanx... Not tring to steel the thread Just curious of a few things myself...
hello Cheever, Yes Im still welding some more front stucture to it, the rails will be next. Sorry to steal the thread, this is a real rescue project, not for the faint of heart . thanks Norm
k, i dont want to steal the thread either, BUT, i couldnt help looking at the pics of the silver car all bashed up. how bent is that frame under all the fiberglass? and i difficult is it for a bodyshop to straighten it!!!! mine looks real bent too

Minngreen, i see what they say about you bieng a human search engine really is true. Thanks those are some great pics.
Norm, does your hood come with all the hardware needed or will i have to take parts off of my old hood, like the latch and the mounting point for the hood prop? Also do you have any pics of the area where the radiator sits with the hood closed??
the red with the unpainted front is mine i drove there from 190 miles away. was my first all fiero eventwell gathering. and yes i have plans of gettign it painted just been waiting for my friend to finish his project in auto body school. then i get it for free just will cost me materials thanks guys least someone took a pic.

This is exactly what I was thinking... The lights definitely need the more agressive and less worried look.

Norm... How hard would it be for you to change the mold to put in more updated headlights...??? just a thought since most of the sports cars today have smaller or even larger in some cases but they are more aerodynamic and not square... Know what I mean....??? Not saying yours looks bad or anything!!
Would look good with the new 2005 Corvette headlamps. Remove the front turn signals too. Sky's the limit with this mold. It's good that someone made it! i may have to get one in the future? hmmmmm........?

hello Madcurl you asked if the front scrapes. you can go as low as you want. Ive designed the front brackets on a pivot with struts to allow a up and down movement in the event that you go off a abrupt incline onto the roadway (steep driveway). The Silver car has not been lowered and there is plenty of room to go further down. thanks Norm www.normsfiberglass.com

Kissmyssfiero and I were talking about using Corvette flip lights also. I just was sure if the hood was strong enough to support the weight of them or if they would be mounted on the chassis and there would just be a hole in the hood with the back of the light filling in the hole as its down. If its mounted on the fiberglass hood itself I don't see it working well. I am sure it would bounce going down the road.

I was reffering to the 2005 non-flip lights. Out with old and in with the new. Nice design Norm. What do you have for the rear now?
Norm. Does Toons the cat come with the kit? hehehehe.

i had posted some suggestions i had for the norms clip before but the thread died. since this one is staing at te top what you guys think of mazda 6 lights? or i have been looking at them and see it could work nicely. the k1 attack headlights. ill edit later for the link to pics of it. i have this norms clip and what new projector lights. i like the new vettes but dont see them looking good on it.
his hood is incredible.
The last pic is my current project. Ben stopped by to show me how to post these pictures, but I ended up letting him do it instead. I should have the nose on by next week or so. I'll have pics as soon as they're on. Thanks, Norm
