Default extended hood on a trimmed cowl pictures

i know there is another thread below talking about TA's with this but i want to see camaros and what hoods they are using.

please show a picture of a camaro with the cowl trimmed back atleast 1'' with an extended or stock length hood.....

i will be doing a gmpp single plane and something special on top so i will need the extra space and probably a the mike morgan hood.

TIA for the pictures

pm goldrust or wormboy about pics of their black car, their setup is exactly what you're looking to see pics of. i'll be running a plate on my car with a gmpp also and i didn't have to trim my cowl back, just trim the plastic piece a bit.

thats exactly what I was wanting to hear.. I was hoping to only have to trim the plastic cover an inch or so and maybe do a little tweaking with the metal so that I can fit a plate under it and a small/slim/thin filter for street use..

Does anyone make an extended cowl hood for the 93-97 cars? I can't find anything except Jim Filapowski who modified a 4" VFN

You referring to the Camaro? Cause VFN makes some extended hoods.

And while were on the subject does anyone have pics of their cowls cut back? Like all the way to the windshield?
