um, you didn't post a pic so I have no idea which hood you are referring to. Also, I am moving this to the exterior mods section.

No pic... Check the size of the image, that has gotten me a few times when I thought that I had attached a pic. I forgot what the limit is, but is can be easy to exceed.

Alternatively, (1) post a link to the hood; (2) imbed the image in your message using the [IMG] tags (it will need to be hosted somewhere out there on the interweb); (3) describe the hood with words - we can probably figure out what you're talking about.

that hood does not exist. You are looking at a photochop.

And, by the way, Vince... here's a fullsize image of that pic if you want it.

and, I would give credit to the individual who made these chops, but I don't know who it is... they certainly aren't mine. mine look more like a kindergartener with a crayon did it.

yeah... I'm really torn between that hood and the California Dreamin'.... the later has functionality going for it, though....
I definitly think it's the best lookin' hood with a centered scoop like that... it's not too tall, not too short, not too wide.... it's just right. It's as close to the '67 Shelby as I've seen yet.

ok, I looked at it more and I was right. The hood on that car is not the same as the one in the photochop. The one on the real car is a stock hood with a scoop added. I have seen that scoop before. Might be RKSport or CDC. Anyway, the photochop one definately has a higher hood on it, at least 3" taller than the factory hood. However I still think that car looks cool.

The hood scoop is a '67 scoop...

This is cut and pasted from that link, first post...

"My Dad created this car using actual '67 Fastback Mustang parts. Including the hood scoop, top side scoops(which had to be widened to fit perfectly), lower side scoops, custom fit grill, and many Shelby emblems."

yeah.... the one in the chop would be sittin' on top of a taller cowl... but pretty close. what I dig about the one in the link is that the scoop has a very horizontal profile... it doesn't rise or drop towards the nose to go above or below a horizontal plane.... it has a very good line.

Check out Chris at Blow By Racing - he has a great looking hood as well. Looks just like the one miller is using. couple of things on these hoods. If you want functional - RK sport. The others are non functional. Also - if you plan on switching over the spray nozzels make sure the hood has the provisions for it. Chris at BBR said his hood do not have the provision - not sure about the miller hood - although with a good body man..... You other choice is to graft a scoop -
