Its based on the 4th gen f-body extended sonoco style hood.

I had to twist Armondo's arm to do this hood. I sent him dimensions and measurements to build it.
Supposedly, I'm getting one of the first ones.....pin-on 3 weeks out and bolt on 4 weeks out.

I know Rebird has one on order also......should clear Hi-Ram with 4" tube over the rad !!!

Looking for a hood that would clear this,

I liked how it said that it goes up to the windshield.
