Cowl Hood Interest???

I am in the process of building my own cowl induction hood. The picture attached is of the plug. It is identical to what the end product will look like. It will have a steel understructure and a smooth underside. I would like to sell a couple just for covering the cost of the mold and my time into the plug. I spent alot of time on the plug block sanding to get it straight so there should be very little prep work before painting. I am not sure on a price yet but what would be resonable if theres a interest.

Looks nice !

Does it bolt up to the stock hood hinges ?

I like! It is steel or fiberglass. I am vey interested. Think you could get pics of it on the car?

Wow, thats a real nice pice.I thought about trying to put a scoop toward the front of the hood (kinda like a WRX) and puting a intercooler on a tilt between the engin and radiator. Ty

Looks very nice! If I was in the market for a cowl I'd get one for sure. Sorry.

Ty, kinda like cutting a hole in the hood and putting the shroud on a GNIC upside-down? It could work? Don't know how it'd look, but you wouldn't have to worry about scraping the scoop on speed-bumps.

Nat, you hit it right on. It may look a bit tacky, but it would look great done right. Ty

This hood will bolt up to the stock hings and work with the stock latch. Basicly its going to be a fiberglass skin attached to the stock bracing. I will take the skin off a stock non turbocoupe hood and use the steel understructure to mount the fiberglass top on. This will allow for factory hings to work as well as making for a sturdy hood. The cowl will have an area for mouting gauges as well. Personaly my car is not a turbo coupe its was a v6 which is going to be converted for a 5.0 twin turbo. It would be great for looks or clearance.

Think you could work the stock scoops into the hood?

I'm still hoping he does a "clean" (no scoops) 83-86 stock hood [Image: wink.gif].

Puting stock turbo coupe vents in could be possible but you would have to do that on your own. You would have to cut out holes for the vents then fiberglass them in. If thats the look you want it is possible.
