Check It Out....new Hood For S197

I was surfing the web and I found this company making the 69 Shelby style for s197........I think this style hood was made by another company but I dont think it available on the market anymore.
Looks nice.........

Cool plenty of time til summer to save up for that. That is exactly what I've been looking for. Now I just hope the price is reasonably comparable to the rest of their hoods.

lets say someone were to make this hood, who would be interested? and would you prefer it to come ready to be made functional or already have the openings precut for you? what if being fully functional (precut) upon order was to add to cost?

Would it need a kit to bring air directly to filter or just cool air in the whole compartment?

What about with the WMS intake? It has a front intake & filter.

well if I had my druthers it would be directed into or at least over the airbox, but I am really liking the idea of the ram intake setup Cervinis is coming out with for their version of the cal drmn hood, so my thoughts would be something like that incorporated into the molding of the bottom piece of fiberglass. Why go half ****?

but what would be perfered? ready to be made that way (shop does the cutting in the prep stage) or already precut like the cali hood comes? I would think that already predone as long as expense doesnt go up a lot would be prefered but I notice a lot of concerns people are addressing of water getting into the scoops and vents, so does that mean that some people would prefer it to not be functional if they didnt want it to be?

Yes Jeff, we know you make a '68 style hood but that one is much truer to a true '68 hood. No offense you've got a great design with yours just I think more people like the scoops further forward and the louvered heat extractors.
