I've heard of this being done in the past, but I've never seen pics of it

it looks fantastic! the way a cowl hood should look on a 3rd gen

great job!

That had to have been an expensive hood you cut up!

Like the color scheme, is the rest of the car painted yet?

Re: 68 cowl graft on to flat 91 rs hood

Wow, great job! I was considering the possibility of doing this someday. I currently have a 2" fiberglass hood from VFN, it's nice, I like the weight of it, but fiberglass hoods don't match the quality of the stock steel one.

How did the curves/slope of the 68 scoop match up to the stock flat hood? I would have liked to see some pics of the weld and metal work.
