Bump

 

Why don't you just buy a fiberglass cowl hood? It saves over 100 lbs

 

I like this one best http://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-470451/overview/ I had a 3 inch one time and if I had it to do over Id gone with a 2 inch you can see a lot more

 

Thats why im asking for help man I have never done a hood like this before

 

You got pics of the car with the 3" one I cant decide how high to go

 

Takes a lot of weight off of the front end, only weighs like 10lbs at the most. I have 4 hood pins and I just take it off when working on the car. Makes getting to things a lot easier.

 

I don't have a photo but it was on a 83 olds cutlass I didnt keep it long because like I sayed I couldn't see over the right side then I got a 2 inch and that looked better and I could see over that one

 

First off the glass hoods can weight from around 20 lbs to 40+ depending on stylr and who made it. Factory hoods are closer to 60lbs so your not saving 'over 100lbs', That just ludicrous

Buy a replacement hood don't try to add a scoop. Make sure its bolt on. Harwood makes a good hood with a 2" cowl. Vfn makes a good 4.5" cowl which I have. Be VERY CAREFUL with eday hoods and anything made my extreme dimensions. They are total crap and that includes the one you linked to.

 

when you call extreme dimensions crap your being nice they are the worst hoods I have ever seen and my weighs in a 51 lbs

 

ok has anyone used the duraflex hoods???

 

duraflex hoods are by extreme dimensions I would say to you stay away from them here is the last one I bought from them and it was for my car I had to pay to ship it to me and then to return it a total of $395.00 in shipping for nothing they said they would refund the shipping to send it back but I never got it???????????????????????

 

Yeah it looks like its all warped out of place.
I was looking at maybe getting one of those bolt on steel or fiberglass cowels, and welding and bolting it on & and possibly reinforcing the subframe of the hood? I kinda want to reuse the stock hood just because of cost effectiveness I'm not incredibly worried about weight so long as it stays under about 50 pounds or so
