Default sunoco camaro hood

As most of you may know we're currently working on a hood for production, we have our basic scoop shape completed now, but we are in need of some more pictures such as a front view to determine the width's and angle on the side's, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I have a ton of photo's of the dick harrell camaro, but compared to the sunco hood, the dick harrell doesn't seem as 'smooth'. If you want the ones of the dick harrell let me know and I'll post up a bunch.

The Dick Harrell Car was modeled off of the actual Sunoco Camaro . . . .

thanks for the links guys! Unfortunately what we are trying to check out is a front view to see about how wide the scoop is in the front. Does anyone have any pictures of this?
I know that there are several guys interested in the flared fenders.....but if it is something that we take on - unfortunately it will have to be later down the road - perhaps later this year? We currently have several mold projects on our to do list - so we need to catch up with these first.
The guys who said they have more pics, do you have a front view of these.
Thanks!!
Jeanie

Xsta Z 28 - Ya I can see how its based off it, but the sunco version seems to be more smooth in the front where the cowl meets the hood and the sides seem to be more angled. Could just be me, but this is what I've noticed in all the photo's.

vfntech - This is the best front photo's I have of the car. Should be good enough for ya

Thank You Madice!!! We did have thumbnails on our last thread, however, they were not from the front.
We are not planning to modify the scoop in height.....so i believe it'll fall somewhere around 3".
abadss~ we did have pics, however, they were of the front to where we could see the width of the scoop - where it meets the hood.
Thanks again Guys.
