I am going to make an other fiberglass hood for my Tran Am. I've already made one with a L88 cowl and I'm not happy with it now. So looking for some new Ideas, I don't want a regular cowl hood or any of the ram air styles , If so I would buy one, I'm thinking maybe a hood with a scoop from the 67 stingray either with the stinger budge or with out, And I'm not going to do a power bulge hood or stock T/A hood.
I've got all my supplies to build a custom fiberglass hood, So lets hear some creative idea.

I would love to have a 3" cowl fiberglass GTA style hood (that has those side vents) And the louvers/vents that are on the side of the iroc hood incorporated onto the sides of the cowl.
Perhaps also added, a set of ram air scoops like from the 2nd gen formulas

I've always thought of having a cowl hood suited to the hood lines and a scoop that was flatter than it was tall. Such as:

Do a cowl induction with lines like this ram air:


And add a scoop like the 'stangs have:




Might be better on a Camaro vs. TA tho. Maybe that's why I like that idea so much!

Yea me like that hood in the first pic except it needs some vents I like the lower profile of the scoops on that unlike other ram air type ones that are taller that are made for our 82-92's. + they dont have any vents, LoL

You all have some good ideas here, But I think I have decided to do the 64 stingray big block cowl with stinger. like this one.

But the stinger will stay on the hood and the cowl will be 3 inches tall.

I would like to see a raised power bulge Hood, or a twin power bulge hood

Although you have some interesting ideas, The power bulge hood or twin would not be useful for my car, My new fuel injected intakes system is to tall and not off to either side. There was a reason why I posted in the OP as it not be the power bulge, besides its not being my favorite style or even close to it type of hood.
I think I have found the style of hood that will fill my needs, it will give me the clearance I need for the intake and CAI piping, As far as I know no one else will have one like it, I will only be making one of these and I think it will compliment the other custom things I have done with the car like the second gen T/A rear spoiler and the widen fender flares.
I won't be building the new hood for another month so I'll still be looking for ideas until then.

I was wondering if you ever got the hood built? If you remember me, I wanted to do that fiberglass ground effects on my car a couple years ago.. never happened, 20 yrs old and was broke. but now that I have a lot more experience with fiberglass, bodywork, paint and have money to invest, Id like to carry it on in a different kind of way...

No, I hate to say. I have just way to many projects at this time to work on my Trans Am. I probably won't get to the T/A until winter when things low down.
