Default I'm fitting a cowl on my stock hood

Hi, I guess I'll be the first one on here to do this, I haven't been able to find anybody else with a harwood or similar cowl that they bonded to they're stock hood.

I'll post pics when I'm done, and tell how I did it, show the PITA meter, etc.

My only request is can somebody with a high rise hood and a tape measure find the total length of they're cowl on the hood... or i'll just measure my stock 1/2" or whatever cowl length.

any opinions or help would be appreciated!

that's a lot of body work!

The hood looks great! Considering you are hiding a tunnel ram under it!

I like the idea of the low rise... if for no other reason then to better let heat out.

Sorry about the big pics I'll have to resize them. I didn't take any pics when I was doing the install but I'll look for more pics! I hope to start preping car for paint very soon as time permits. Thanks Joe.
