It's not the best pic, but the hood is done in satin black and fits great. I molded the scoop on myself using a stock fiberglass hood.

 

thats incredible!!

 

Thanks. The hood cost me $50 from a wrecker, the scoop I found for free. And about 20 hours of labor, and $30 in material. a good 3" extra clearance. Will house a Victor Jr. and a nice size air cleaner eventually.

 

looks good a lil big for an l-88 for my taste but you did an excellent job putting that hood together my comliments to the chef

 

I still dont understand why people flip over this hood style...but nonetheless good work on it

 

i think cause its kinda a beifed up shaker altho not functional but looks wisse i personally think they look good on some cars and not others but nice work

 

sweet

 

I was thinking of venting the scoop on the inside of the front lip. Hopefully help everything cool down.

 

I Agree it looks good but,...when I was in high school, i put a true L88 hood scoop on my oldsmobile no less and it was functional, the rear was open just like a crowl hood so air could get in from the high pressure area in front of the windshield. Oh by "true L88" I meant it was the stock length, like 5 feet long.. They look much better that way, the way the general intended. The shrunk down versions look..well....shrunk down.

Good job on the hood

 

Looks great!

 

:werd: ....sorry had to do it...

 

LOL :werd:

 

Awesome!

 

looks cool! good job

 

Looks damn good for homemade. Now slap on some real paint to set off it's originality.

 

Looks like my car Good job on doing it yourself... I couldnt find a stock glass hood.

 

looks good i have always been a fan of that hood

 

I don't know about paint. It's satin black, sanded with 2000grit and is smooth as glass. But the satin black sits in nice with the Dark Plum of the rest of the car. You can't tell cause my digi-cam pics are horrible without lots of lighting.
