Alright guys...so I've been thinking its time for a change. Getting tired of the hood I've got now(for the time being) and I wanna change to an L-88 hood. I think it will set the car off in a different way. My only problem is, I'm only finding the L-88 for 68-72 Vettes. I did some research on some old forums and saw where people were saying a company called Vanacor made them for later model stingrays and 77-82 vettes, but couldnt find their website. Secondly, I've seen 2 versions of this hood. One which is a lower rise(almost like an LT-1 hood), and the others which appear to have a aftermarket higher rise to them? Can anyone help me out in this field. Im looking for the higher rise b/c of clearance issues but obviously need it for a 78. Any expertise would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks ahead!

Thanks Bob for the link to ACI, just what I'm looking for...

And jdb, thanks for the compliment. As for the wheels, lol, one of a kind...guarantee it! Nope, not American Racing either...I bought a set of the old Cragar SS and had them custom black powder coated by a local powder coating business. I even went as far as asking Cragar if they'd do it, they wouldnt. Went from the factory 15" to a 17". Probably would have went 18" on the back however, Cragar didnt make a 18" SS. As for the tires, went from a 225 to a 255(what the pace cars had) w/ a lower profile and z-tread pattern. Overall, I was pretty satisfied with the outcome. Of course I kept the rallys. For some reason, I'll do something radical, then after a few years, change it up again?!? Kinda like the hood situation now...
