You'll be so happy with the space you have now that you chopped the cowl. It makes working on my friend's car so much easier.

What hood are you going to use? A full race hood that goes to the windshield? You might have a problem with a gap on the left and right sides from removing the top of the firewall at least I did. Other then that, it looks good.

I have a Joe Van O. hood on the way.

I welded some metal in those holes, is that going to be a problem?

This is how my hood fit from Joe Van O.http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/j...8/IMG00428.jpg Without cutting off the corners. I did not like the way it fit so I flush cut the ends and trimmed my stock plastic pieces
to fit.http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/j...8/IMG_0931.jpg http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/j...8/IMG_0928.jpg Looks okay. It covers the void from the window to the cowl area. Since your cowl is gone yours is different. As I kept some of the cowl for attachment purposes.http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/j...8/IMG_0605.jpg
