Looking for a flat lift off hood but can only find cowls and grand national style. Anybody know if anyone makes one that’s flat?

USbody Source sells a flat style hood, I am curious as to why you want a flat hood.

Everything clears under the stock hood so I don’t need any type of scoop. The cowl hoods come all the way to the windshield which could create an unnecessary hassle when lifting it off. GN hoods look good but I don’t have a GN [emoji23].

No, but it is really only one company since Andy's is a distributor for US Body Source.

The Cowl provides a nice handle to aid lifting it off. A lift off flat hood is very hard to remove. That is why the 440-6 Factory lift off hoods had a big scoop in the middle you could stick your hand in.

I hadn’t thought of that... good point

Are you looking for a weight savings?? If so it isn't much and they are defiantly a lot of money. I had a cowl on mine and didn't like it. I also didn't like the way the fiberglass moved at different temps or the sun beating on it so went back to original. I do have a GN hood but haven't got around to putting it on yet.
