So do you guys still have the hood molds? Whoever I talked to said everything post 68 was destroyed. If you still do have them, what kind of time frame are we looking at before you guys are back up and available to take orders? Do you guys have any catalogs or is website ordering available? Sorry for all the questions but just excited to hear the great news...!

Yea, what I'm looking for is only found at Vanacors...All those companies offer the L-88 hood for 78-82 Corvettes but not the 4" high rise L-88. Thanks for trying though...

Bryan and Diane Vanacor were the oringinal owners, now Michael and Jackie (ourselves) have taken over Vanacor's, we are still located at 17272 Hwy 90 in Des Allemands, because the building was not destroyed. Whoever is in Mississippi has our old toll free number (1-800-225-6508). They are possing as Vanacor's but they are not us. We are currently using business cellphones untill we are completely up and running. Vanacor was never sold to anyone outside the family.
Your toll -free number has been issued to someone else and your web-site now goes to a foreign language business. You folks need to get sorted out a little quicker! People are waiting here to buy your products!

I for one; would like to know when you are 'up and running'!

I think I speak for the majority of us here but could you post a close up of the backend of that corvette "BB72" ????? A 8x10 glossy would do nicely!


I guess the answer was no?

Well, I don't have an 8"x10" glossy, I do have pictures that will get me banned on here. I'll check out the rear end when I get home and let you know. Dannyman has met her.

They are back in business. I stopped by their place a couple of weeks ago. They had 2 l88 hoods on their show floor.
