Cowl hood on 69?

[Mr.CNC 10]

Any one know of any cowl hoods over 2" say 3 or 4? Any one try to glass on a universal cowl scoop? If so how did it come out?

I had a 4 inch cowl on a second gen camaro.... It was a nightmare to see over I was always spooked I was gonna run over some little kid at a crosswalk or something(and I'm 6'3" to boot) but it changes the whole field of view from inside..... And I know this is gonna sound snide and I really don't want it to seem that way but scoops look balls on the classic stangs me thinks....

mine is a 3" and does not hinder my vision at all

Zstang, how makes that hood? It looks nice. Not to much rise, perfect fit. Is there a reason why the front of the hood doesn't line up?

[Mr.CNC 10]

I need some coverage. I am putting a 6.8 v10 in my car and I want to daily drive it as much as I can. I am making a throttle body elbow to face it backwards and have a pan to shroud the air filter. I would like to have the filter fit most of the way up in the cowl. Not much room left under that hood. I am doing the most I can to fab everything. I did find a hood I can cut up and make it work.

AND WHERE'S THE BUILD THREAD????? That sounds like a VERY interesting project.

EDIT: Ok, it appears you do have a Build Thread. Something for me to read during lunch....

my hood was custom built. at the moment it doesn't line up hopefully because the car was hit in the front. i am about to change the right fender (it is too twisted to fix). if it still does not line up i will have to have another one made. i had bought a new hood (not ford tooling) and had the mold pulled off it. that hood fit the same way. the under bracing is like the stock hood.

[Mr.CNC 10]

Good looking hood and great cars guys. I am thinking about buying a hood and glassing on a scoop. not sure how that will work out but I have a few ideals. 1 is a NACA scoop in the front lead angle kind a like a viper. The 2nd would be to leave a center ridge and 2 openings on either side of it in the front.

I have lots of work in front of me. I am trying to pick a transmission now.
