Shaker Hood Idea...

Hello, I was thinking about modifying a shaker hood to fit my 1992 Firebird when I drop whatever engine I finally decide to go with in. I am just curious as to what I should be expecting for work and what I would need to do for it to fit like the factory hood does.

Re: Shaker Hood Idea...

The one on the fabrication board wasn´t functional however.

And personally I think the 2nd gen shaker cowl is a bit too rounded and small to really work well for the thirdgen design.
