My car is back in my friends fabrication/restoration shop to finish up the body work. Last night I brought him over the fenders, rad support and hood so he can mock everything up and start body working the panels.
When I brought the original flat hood in, both my friend and his other buddy questioned if I was really going to use the flat hood on the car. Originally I had planned on a 2" cowl hood, but thought I'd just go flat.
Either way I like the look, but what do you guys think?? Preferences?? Ideas??
I have a cowl on my 66 that came with it,, new goodmark, Don't know the hrs., I have put in it to make it fit,,I wanted to trade for a stock hood before I butchered it, couldn't find a swap .,,so I went with it,, I'mabout tired of cowl, makes me sick to see one on a Ford or even a Chevy truck,,, Go clean /Go Stock !!
I put a 2in cowl on my old 70 but I must say the flat hood make me wonder what is under the hood, but either way it will look great. its like picking between two of your kids haha
Keep the flat hood and make err... a.....................woosh....
Oh.... you will probably have to cut a hole in the hood out to show off the Blower bling

Yeah Baby!
I voted 2" cowl but I might be biased . However, after seeing Billy's Nova with a flat hood I might would go that route if I was running an LS and/or didn't care about the little extra clearance the cowl gives you. Just have to decide the look you are going for. Slammed, big wheels, full bore PT treatment the flat hood is really clean looking.

i'm loving the feedback guys! all aspects are def. a big help in deciding, I'm leaning towards the flat hood, it is def. clean looking and it does make people wonder whats under there
the next big question is what rims will look best on the Nova....
