I need your Feedback!! Firebird Hood

[speedster]

Hey -
Can you guys give me some opinions on which hood you prefer for this car. The only caveat is that if I use a 400 hood, it will have to be one of those "Super 400 hoods" from Spottsperformance.
Which one do you guys like better ?
Thanks a bunch. I really value your opinions.

I like the bottom one, flows better with the lines of the car.

I like the bottom one, flows better with the lines of the car.

Me too, without a doubt.

Stupid question. Which one is the 400?

The first one looks a little clunky-ish, although I have to say (and I am not being negative towards anyone's cars or drawings) most cars dont look exactly like those drawings when done. It really helps to give you a good look at what you want to accomplish, and I would LOVE to have one drawn, but they are almost a little cartoon-y.

With that said, that hood may end up looking perfectly fine on that car. You just dont know until you see it applied.

I still like the 2nd one more though

[Ralph LoGrasso]

Definitely the second one.

Go for the hood on the bottom

[Steve68]

with the rest of em bottom,

[TonyL]

Oh, totally the bottom one.

[speedster]

Thanks for all of your responses. There are always so many variations when building a car, so it is nice to know what the people that actually do PT think.

Asked my eight year old and he said the bottom picture,I agree.I think we may have a Pro-Tour enthusist here.

[HILROD]

No To The L88!

the original fire bird hood, the one on top there looks like the hood every other yahoo gets from harwood.

[speedster]

The reason an L-88 came up two fold:
1.) To gain "long" clearance since I have a Hogan sheet metal intake
2.) To put underhood pressure relief venting on the inside front of the L88 section like the Baldwin-Motion Camaro.

A 2" cowl induction hood would be cool, but it doesn't allow for any underhood pressure relief.

Based on your unanimous response, I will figure out way to make a 400 hood work.

Thanks Again Guys. This helps more than you think.

[Travis B]

the top hood looks like it belongs on a pro mod!

Second one all the way

[BADVELLE]

No question, the second one fits the car!

[Roger Poirier]

The question is to easy. Will you be installing a factory hood tach as well?

[Rybar]

I agree with the others, the second hood.

[rocketman]

the 2nd looks good,but a 4 inch cowl hood looks good to.
