thats a great idea, definitely think it flows with the body lines.

Wish I had some fad skills and could get something like this to fit my 86 El Camino. I would buy it in two seconds and I am starting to loose interest in the crawl hoods. That is basically all you see on cars now a day.
 
I grafted a Ford Mustang Boss 302 scoop on to my 79 Cutlass..

Cant beat a cowl induction hood that works. 8)

what kind of air cleaner is that?
 
I too will be building a custom hood for my Buick wagon, I have had a cowl hood on many of my cars, and they are everywhere, everyone has one for looks. I need mine for engine height, anyhow, I seen that camaro hood on TGO, i don't know if he ever finished it.
 
Is my cowl hood considered one that doesnt keep the body lines? If so i disagree with that statement.

If the picture of the hood in the original post is considered a "deflector" hood, that is the same thing I am doing with the Regal hood. I wanted the cowl to follow the original body line of the hood. I have a friend that works in the fabrication shop at Michael Waltrip Racing and he is doing the work for me. I have also been considering having him stamp some louvers at the front corners, because my 10" conical air filters sit directly behind the headlights :idea:
