^^^ a stupid one, i think that hood should be reserved for drag cars only. iirc thats the hood you need to fit a big block in an f bucket

agreed, it looks ridiculous. maybe with a big block in the car, and a high rise single plane with a dominator on top it would be acceptable, but on the street, nooo. Might as well put one of those 2 foot wings on top of the Spoiler too. but hey to each his own.

I'll have to put a pic of the sloped 5 inch cowl I have from VFN. It's not shaped that way at all, and comes right up to the windshield, like it should.

I haevn't mounted it yet, but you can get the idea.

It's sitting on my car at home. I'll try to get some pictures of it this weekend, you can tell it does fit pretty good, and should mount up nicely.

You'll have to lose the cowl plastic, and the wipers with it, but if that's o.k. it's probably the best looking hood other then the Joe van overton hood, which is about 3 times the cost, and takes forever and a day to get.

Kind like this? I dont really have any side pictures to give it the profile but the bulges have a nice smooth transition. the wing tips needed some extensive modification to sit down flush.

Looks awesome........for a drag car. I wouldn't drive it daily. If it was a weekend toy.....maybe, but it better run 10s to throw an attitude like that.

isnt there two kinds of ws6 cowl hoods? One with the back part of the cowl flat, and the other one with the two humps like the one pictured above.

Im kinda liking the flat look better.
