I am undecided on which cowl hood I want. I think I want a 2 1/4 inch or 3 inch.

I checked out VFN fiberglass and the 4 incher is just not me, too high. They also offer a 2 inch version and it's a very reasonable price.

I only want fiberglass and nothing over 3 inches.

COWL HOODS ONLY!!!!

I'm using their 2.5" cowl hood...well built hood that required minimal prep work. Here's some crappy pics...

I'm curious to see some too....I haven't seen too many F-Birds with 2"cowls tho. Anyone??

 

Anyone else have 2 - 2 1/2 inch cowl hoods????

 

You can check out some other shots HERE

I bet your right

 

Sweet launch dude :rockon:

 

Anyone have any recommendations on different hood makers? More specifically, fiberglass ones. I am also looking for a 2-2 1/2'' cowl hood but undecided on where exactly to pick one up. Any suggestions? pros? cons? Thanks guys

 

Yeah guys, give us some info on fit, quality, price and complaints or recomendations on the hoods you have purchased. I too, am looking for a cowl hood under 3". I've seen the pics but not sure who made these?

 

here's mine. OOPs! picture didn't work I'll have to work on that. sorry

 

Mine is a stock 82 fiberglass hood with a Harwood scoop glassed in. Cant go wrong with Harwood, Best in the business

 

Here is a pic of mine. It is a Unlimited Products 2 1/4 hood. Alot of people bad mouth them, but I have put a ton of hoods on, and this one was about the same as the rest. They all require some fitting and prep work. It pins in the front and uses the hinges in the back. I paid $219 plus shipping for it. I highly encourage you to drive the car with the unpainted hood on it for a while so the fiberglass fully cures.

 

what a sh!tty pic...let me see if I have a better one.

 

not much better, but may help

 

this is 2 1/4. there are more pics on my cardomain site in my sig.

PS. don't buy the unlimited products(industies) hood it is a piece of ****. that is the hood i have.

 

Why the hell does everybody put those damn ridges down the middle of the cowl. They look like dirty man ***, why would you want one of those on your car. They just look so outta place.

Sorry, quick vent. I'm done, just an opinionated rant.

 

I like the look of them personally....

 

 

If you don't like the ridge there is always the cervini cowl hood
which doesn't have it.

 

this is mine unpainted still

 

Here's mine, don't know where it come from, it was on the car when I bought it, but I still have the bill from the previous owner.



here you can see from the inside what it's look like, i've also put 2 guage under the cowl (engine temp and oil pressure )


another in front


give the car a great look IMO

 

Here is mine. Not painted yet, and not perfectly adjusted yet, but I like it. It is a 3" harwood

 

Thanks for the pics guys. I like the 3" Harwood. Nice hood bad84z!! Looks sweet

 

Thanks!! I like it alot too. Just put it on last week. Havn't really got it perfectly adjusted yet, but it is getting there. Here is a side shot

 

@deepstage69: AWESOME awesome custom work

@10.90streetcar: That pic sure settled that

@bad84z: That looks great, I like the 3" look

 

Thanks TPIROC!! I just checked out the pics in your sig, and let me tell you, your car kicks @ss. Where did you have your paint done. That has got to be one of the best lookin 3rd gens ever. Those rims look killer on your car.

 

A: Thank you, I really appreciate it
B: A "private" guy named Andy Leatherwood in Oregon, he does a lot of rods and custom work
C: Thanks again, I've been having doubts every now and then, but I'm committed at this point
