Volvo 780 Hood

For the Volvo 780 Hood, the engine bay is provided with much-needed protection, and the front forms a neat visual focus at the front of the grand tourer. It closes in order to keep out the rain and debris, but swings up on a front latch and rear hinges to allow quick service accessibility. Below, impact-reducing folds are designed to collapse in case of a crash, to distribute the forces before they take hold of the passenger cell. The initial production automobiles applied stamped steel panels, which are better for longevity but contribute to the weight. Subsequent purchasers would order lighter skins of aluminum, reducing bulk and offering greater resistance to surface rust, and, seldom, fiberglass types exchanged the brittle strength for even lower lift-off weight. Irrespective of the material, tight panel lines maintain the high-end folds of the 780 intact in such a way that those looking at it perceive style and not harm. Should a panel be dented, a Hood will fit in to recover the look and crucial weatherstrip without changing the geometry of the latch or hinges of the vehicle. The owners like that a true Volvo part can be supplied as a replacement that is already primed and can be painted to match, and this makes the process of repairs easier, besides the factory safety performance can be maintained. Due to the Hood framing the grille and headlamps as well, it is an easy way to ensure that a classic Volvo is looking good on the road. When properly installed and with a heavy latch connection, your classic Volvo still marries Swedish style with reliable mechanical protection.
