Worked on the hood for my truck some more. I'm starting to lose count of how many hours I have spent working on my hood, but it'* close to being finished.

Hoods are a pain. I spent a few weeks going mine. What are you doing to your?

I chopped the hood on my truck right at the body lines, which is raised about 1/2" compared to the sides. I raised it by about 6" so now the hood looks like it has a really wide cowl hood. At the back of the hood, I cut out 2 big Chevy bowties with some wire mesh behind those cutouts. Right now, I might have $40 of materials in my hood.

Here'* a hood kinda like mine, but on a Camaro. It'* called a Jongbloed.

Sure adds that tough look. Getting it right is real hard. And anything not right will show up real good on a hood.

Ya, it'* going to look tough, but mainly doing it to be different, not look like crap, and being cheaper than an aftermarket hood. I bought an aftermarket hood for my Firebird 8 years ago and that was a lot of money to spend.

that looks cooler than your regular cowl hoods, more like it was made for the car not just stuck on there

Loaded up the truck to run down to the scarp yard.

LoL! That'* a scary pile of motors! How much rust really IS in them!?! LoL!

Not rusty, just old blocks that arn't worth the time to rebuild them.

Ok, I see. Trying to view them on a phone they looked encased in rust, but looking at it on my computer I can see what you are saying! LoL!
