Offset cowl hood needed please pref 89 Formula or WHY?

Hi - looking for an offset cowl hood like the 89 Formula. Trying to recreate my cousins 84 black and gold using my 88 project car as a base. Would consider early 82-84 hood but since my car is TPI I only need the aesthetics not the ram air function. My car is in Catleton MI. Local.preferred

these hoods aren't easy to find - especially in decent condition. buy QwkTrip's and then sell the induction setup on ebay to offset some of the cost.

definitely an option but I suspect shipping costs would be so prohibitive

yes am aware the sheet metal is, I just don't want to pay for the cowl induction flap system that I won't use on my TPI and a formula hood also.has the blank off plate I'd need.

Either work the deal for the hood without it or just sell the parts to someone that wants it. Most sellers will work that kind of deal.

I can meet you half way if you don't mind waiting a while. Unfortunately my truck died a few days ago and it might be a couple months before it is fixed. Otherwise the hood is inside my house anytime you want it
