You can say that again. Amazing, I'm too scared to mess with fiberglass work.
Your new hood reminds me of a L-88 style hood.
What was that cowl hood from originally? I guess you got enough clearance now for say.....a crate 572? That would be something.

a 572 is the same physical dimension as any other big block, there are some guys on here already running big blocks.

Just curious, how much did your paintjob cost? How much did you save by doing the sanding work yourself?
I guess it's safe to say, you fabricating your own cowl was a lot cheaper than buying the total hood.
