Default Anyone make this hood?

My 73 has the stock flat hood and I plan to put a cowl hood on, but I'm not a fan of the flat lift up style. With how many curves the body has, it looks out of place to me.
This is the normal cowl

I found this one on a pro touring 73 Camaro and it reminds me of the VFN Sunoco hood for the 4th gen Camaro. To me it looks cleaner and smoother.

Does anyone know of someone who can produce that hood other than a body shop?

Have you contacted any of the Fiberglass hood companies? Such as Glastek,Harwood,VFN. It looks like a 2'cowl hood without the center ridge being so pronounced. And some times they will custom make hoods for an additional charge.

I called a VFN this morning and I was told they are working on a Sunoco style hood for the 70-81 similar to the one they just released for the 67-69 camaro

Now I recall I have seen such a hood on the IMSA /SCCA Camaro Road race cars back in the day,In fact if you look it up you will see this hood on the Shafer Farms Racing IMSA Camel GT AAGT Camaro Race Car.
