Hey guys,... been looking on ebay for a few months now for a custom hood for my 82 Vette. Can't find anything that really catches my eye. Seems as though they are selling factory hoods and slight cowl hoods,... and then you have your ultra radical WS6 Looking Scooped hoods. Looking for something in between. Maybe a small scoop or something... Anyway, couldn't find much. I thought that I could maybe custom glass in a hood scoop that I buy offline or out of a catalog. I just want to get some idea and see what you guys are doing out there. So if you could,....

Post some pics!!

Dan

I have an LT1 hood with the center bar molded out to be an ultra low rise L88. So far it's 1 of a kind. see my pics at left.

Bryan27, nice hood if I could get away with a low-rise like that it would be a great design to copy
