OK OK, Well change of plans....when i took the Bu to the Body shop today, I mentioned the hood to him, And he told me to bring it and he will figure something out...either cutting it, or fiberglassing the front header...but he was going to try to bring it down some to not put so much fiberglass on the header panel...Hes the pro, its in his hands know...will ck in on saturday to see whats good :wink:

I was going to suggest putting the bubble on a stock hood, but figured you wouldn't be up for sheetmetal work if you didn't want to modify the header panel. Another possibility here is getting a TA shaker scoop & simply cutting out the hood forit & bond it to the hood with panel adhesive. May be simpler for you & pretty much the same look. Someone on el camino central & malibu racing did one & it looked pretty good.
