I wasn't at all impressed with the one I looked at last summer at the VFN booth at the NMCA/NMRA race in Joliet, like you said, it looked like it was going to take tons of work and was wavy as h*ll along the edges.

Good luck!

Well, I hope he is a miracle worker on the side !

My car has one of these hoods, and the only way the previous owner could get the hood trimmed to the windshield and have everything fit well was to go ahead and cut the cowl portion back to nearly match the profile of a stock hood.

The scoop is still nearly to the windshield, and with the cowl trim in place, it looks pretty good. The benefit for us is that it provides additional cooling since the car runs a BBC and a carb.
