and they look ridiculous on a street car. it's almost like keeping a roll of quarters in your pocket.

is that a roll of quarters in your pocket, or are u happy to see me?

why are all the hoods like 4-5 inch cowls? can u find any 1-2 inch ones still being made? much more then 2 is stupid, especially if u dont need that clearence.

You make the mold out of fiberglass also.

I need to get a pic of the hood now that it is painted and aligment is alot better.

Plan on putting aluim inserts in the hood to retain all the factory hingess and latches.

thats what I thought. Thats going to get expensive. There is a local guy here that will make moldings of any hood you bring him for $400 so maybe I will just take it to him, I just dont want him making a double of it and selling them on me.

Id go for a plain TC hood, just in fiberglass. No cowl, just weight savings. I dont care for cowls. If it HAD to have a cowl, no more than an inch or two.
