A WORK OF ART
Arvidsson seems weaker
than Trollet...? It's 57 lb compared to 22 lb! (26 kg to 10 kg)
Hood in carbon fiber saves up to 70 percent of the weight! This is a masterpiece
made by Michael Anderbrant in
Kusmark in the North of Sweden. I will have a lot more about him and his craftsmanship
here later.
The detailing is nothing but fantastic.
I'm waiting for Michael's
own pictures from the creation of this hood.
I have seen some Impalas with these Lumina Z34 louvers. And they have a very
good design match.
But it was a negative surprise that the louvers were made of cast metal and
not ABS or some
other plastic! I didn't want to increase the weight of the hood by adding two
holes! So they had
to be made in Carbon fiber! We can produce ten more pairs if anyone is interested?
They are so cute in carbon fiber as well, not only light!

Carbon fiber SS-hood
by Michael Anderbrant!
There he is! Michael Anderbrant in Kusmark! The
Master creator of lightweight body parts! His products
are wowed in drag racing pits and garages around the world!
Even though he looks like he did 20 years
ago he is now very busy in the manufacturing industry and do only these car
parts as a hobby - if you
manage to get hold of him and knock him with your wallet!
Kent managed to do just that after a long hunt! Congratulations!
Kent's hood is made in the same forms as mine, of course, the forms are made
of the plug which is
made of my original hood. The difference between our hoods is this half NACA-duct
that will bring in cold
air to the F2-blower. I chose to bring in air in the front of the car while
using the hood to let air out.
The original hood in the background is about three times as heavy. Note that
famous inside design that
is a Anderbrant trademark. Kent is working the brackets.
Special brackets are needed to get this masterpiece hood to work in the car
just the original one.
And -
I'm still waiting for Michael's own pictures from the creation of this hood.
