And where can I get one? I think this car looks sweet and I am wanting to pretty much copy it with my ta but I cant find out where to get this exact hood?

 

its called a cowl induction hood. did u ever go to a car show? watch t.v.? or see a muscle car? just kidding lol, look at the sponsors on the right of youre screen you will find a bunch of hoods, or check year one.

 

I did not ask what kind of hood it was...I know it,s a cowl induction but I dont know who makes this exact one? I did not know that muscle car garage is the ones that make them are they?

 

as sharp as them edges are, that may be a cut and re-welded steel hood.

 

settle down little man i was kidding. like i said look around for 3 minutes you will find one.

 

I was kinda thinking that myself, I found a 5" cowl on hawksthirdgenparts.com but it just dont have those nice sharp edges like you said. Plus I dont think that one is a 5"? Maybe a 3" I am looking to keep a nice low profile...might have to make one???

 

Actually I have found very few, I found a 5" pin on hood and a 3" but it did not have these sharp edges and it had a lip that hung over the cowl. I was just wondering if anyone ever seen this exact hood or if it was a custom job...I am leaning towards custom at this point. Either way I will have one, lol! Mmmmmm I wonder if I could fit a roots type supercharger under it...lol!

 

it could also be fiberglass with additional styling. u could do anything with fiberglass if u know how to use it.

 

The problem is I dont know how to use it...lol! I am an excellent sheet metal fabricator though and I have access to a brake and english wheel and a few other things at work so I might just buy a used hood and try making my own. I think even 3" is alittle too high for my taste I would like to make one about 2".

 

if youre going to make youre own, a cool thing ive rarely seen is using the stock hood vents in the cowl where they would be on the stock hood. ive only seen this in a couple pics. if theres a company that makes it then i would get one for my bird.

 

Looks like a harwood hood.

 

It does look similar to the Harwood hoods.


1982-92 Firebird Hood
3'' Cowl Induction Scoop
Bolt-On Style

It actually looks to be a Harwood hood. You can tell by the middle rib in the center of the cowl and the two stock "V" lines. Looks identicle to mine. Maybe an inch bigger of a cowl though.

 

Nice find guys...I am going to order one real soon, thats exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for everyones input in helping me find it.

 

I agree, it does give it a sportier look with the stock "v-lines"

Its actually a bolt-on hood, but I added the hood pins because there have been a couple of times when I've been driving down the road and not closed the hood right and have had a few scares. I don't know what kind of hood it is, since the previous owner is the one who had it installed...

 

Very nice looking TA you have there...I am 99.9% sure it is a harwood and I cant wait to get one on my ride

 

ive been debating on a hood swap for a long time now also hmmmm??????? it does look sweet in that pic, but i do like all the hood vents in the stock hood.

 

Its all about taste. Everyone has different taste, I myself am not a fan of vents on my hood, but beside looks I think the cowl hood will realy help keep the under hood temps down. I would imagine though you could install the factory vents from your old hood, it might look pretty good and you could create a new trend

 

I have actually half-way thought about putting the last rear two hood vents, bit I'm too afraid I'll ***** up and have two giant holes in hood... That and the strength of the hood if I take out a giant portion near the hinges...
