Cool You Making Your Own Also Just Gotta Do It $500 For A New One Is A Little Steep I Think For The Price Of Making My Own AND BY THE WAY I LIKE THE LOUVERD HOOD LOOKS COOL

OLDIRON69 · 06-07-2007, 12:20 PM

I want to do the same to mine. (Cowl hood) anyone do this, I done have the cash to shell out for a new one either....

JON70CST · 06-07-2007, 12:31 PM

Hey, Cool ideas guys, might have to come up with something original like that. Just thought imight through this out there though "CrashED" don't hack your 67 hood, because it won't fit your 72 anyway. Just a heads up.

I think he plans to "make" it fit.That would be modifying a hood.

I have a 67/68 louvered hood,nah nah nahnah nah.Just being a jerk.Not hard for me

(dilligaf?)

1bad chevy · 06-14-2007, 07:09 AM

well guys here it is roughed in don't know if i liked the way it come though whats your opinion

kbs71 · 06-14-2007, 08:49 AM

I might have tried to flatten it out some about 3/4 of the way back to follow the hood line. But that still looks KILLA' (especially for the price).

BACKYARD88 · 06-14-2007, 09:05 AM

Looks good, will it hit the cowl or windshield when you open the hood? My hood isn't on my truck so I don't know what kind of clearance there is.

Curve the cowl a little more towards the back so that it flattens out and doesn't continue to go up at that angle. i'd say from about halfway to the back keep it 2-4 inches tall (whatever height it is in that area)

FlatBrokeRacing · 06-14-2007, 11:29 AM

Looks good to me.

OLDIRON69 · 06-14-2007, 11:50 AM

I like it.

GREASEMONKEY72 · 06-15-2007, 04:28 AM

looks good as is, and its different than the guy next to you at the show for sure

1bad chevy · 06-15-2007, 06:14 AM

thanks for the input guys and to answer a few questions no it will not hit as it is only as long as the hood and second i agree with you all on it should be a little flatter but what the heck it was my first attempt next step is prep and paint

1bad chevy · 06-19-2007, 08:36 AM

well here it is on the truck looks better than expected

next step new doors truck is getting make over

Bamm · 06-21-2007, 04:02 PM

Looks good, definitely worth the time and effort. I might have to pull out an old hood of mine and give that a try. Probably stay 2" tall though.

Bamm!

bowtieride · 06-21-2007, 08:47 PM

Awesome job dude!

I would of guessed you had did that before. Will be different from any other cowl hood. Very cool!

bad6772 · 06-21-2007, 09:38 PM

looks killer imo, how does it look from inside the cab?

*trkklr77* · 06-21-2007, 10:59 PM

needed to be taller sooner/at the front and flaten out.

i cut a spare hood up to do this when i ver first got mine but i tossed it as i didnt have the time then. i just cutht eentire center out of a 2nd hood, i wanted to keep the wide flat hood rib and not the bolt on summit one.
