i like the gt500 vent, think it would only work for an lt1 hood though because they are straight.

lol here is something i did to my car in paint REALLY quick, i think if it was executed well it could be a great looking hood

Nice work...

You might want to weld some bracing underneath to keep it solid.
(before you paint it of course)
