Big Block hood (long version)
Does anyone have a bb long version hood on a 73-82 corvette? If so post pic please. I remember the now defunct vendor Vanacor Corvette parts made them.

I wanted this same look but realized that a long lt1 hood would have to be cut back or flared at the rear somehow to clear the wipers, and match the fender edges. Did someone actually make one of these? The LT1 hood with the bar in the middle and flat towards the back? I thought about fabbing one myself but really don't have the time.

Well since Tim posted, I'll show the hood I bought from him a while back. This is from a 69 however, so I'm not sure, Oldguard, what you are hoping to see in a picture. Tim was unsure of the original supplier but back when I was looking for one of these I thought I saw a near identical hood available from Corvette Central, maybe.
Hood as received. I did some reshaping and filling and after paint it looks terrific.

May be the only alternative, and actually I'd rather have this I think. Waiting to hear back from Rajin Cajun as to where he got it. Can't find anything about it on the net.
