I agree with Cliff, better than shelf stuff. One change I'd make, cut openin's half way back and fit your grill piece on a angle to front. That would keep the rain out of the bay. A buddy did a Mustang like that and worked and looked factory. Still sucks air and gives the same effect. Love the look !!!!!!!!! And cheaper than a cowl hood LOL!!!!!

**tnblazerk5** · 01-08-2006, 12:34 PM

i like it

what year hood is the one you are workin on ? i know you said you cut parts out of a 72 hood and the way i understood it you was putting the hood scoops (whitch are going to be killer lookin when done ) on a 67-68 hood , the hood i see in the pics is not a 67-68 hood , its a 69 up hood or is it just my eyes (i still cant see well since i got sick

)

Inthuwind · 01-08-2006, 01:05 PM

Yeah THATS the '72 hood I cut it out on--My '68 hood is standing over by a wall. Sorry for any confusion there.

its ok i get confused all the time easy

and its lookin good by the way

Inthuwind · 01-08-2006, 07:08 PM

I agree. The BelAir look would be killer especially with the hood ornament.

**Yukon Jack** · 01-08-2006, 07:28 PM

I think it is a great looking touch you are adding to your truck. Thumbs up from me.

Inthuwind · 01-08-2006, 07:35 PM

TnBlazer--Raeford is 13 miles west of Fayetteville. I am stationed at Pope Air Force Base. I'm not sure about the Nats yet. Depends if I'm sent to Iraq or not.

HEAVY CHEVY · 01-09-2006, 09:40 AM

Inthuwind we have a show coming to Charlotte in the middle of April.It has alot of members there.
I live up in Sanford not too far from ya.Did ya get that 72 hood from Nathaniel Grove?

Inthuwind · 01-09-2006, 12:30 PM

No-I bought a '72 truck(whole) just for the 5 lug disc axles and 12 bolt rear, then grabbed a few pieces off it before i sent it off on a roll back. I took the hood off it so I could make my 442 scoops for the '68 I'm building. I made '05's showing at Charlotte. That was a big show. Hopefully if I'm not deployed, I'll make this one as well. You're pretty close to the base here. We'll have to meet up some time. Maybe you can help me find some parts.

Joe67 · 01-09-2006, 12:37 PM

Very nice!

Now that is custom

*FormerMember* · 01-09-2006, 12:41 PM

Heh, want to make more of them? I don't have the body skills to do it... I may just tinker a bit though.

Inthuwind · 01-09-2006, 12:55 PM

This is going to be a slow process. I haven't even bought a welder yet-lol. I wish I could mass produce these. If I ever do, this board will be the first place I'd offer. I'll let ya'll know as soon as mine is finished. I may do a couple after this one is done. I'd hate to ruin SOMEONE else's hood--

Inthuwind · 01-09-2006, 12:56 PM

By the way 67C10, how are you coming on your stepside?

muddyole 69 · 01-16-2006, 01:52 AM

Love the color choice, had a mini few years ago same color had 2.2 charger hood scoop grafted on hood 78 transam air extractors on fenders chevette square tail lights out back original tail lights and gate smoothed to match the body lines 4/6 drop boyd fluted stars customized the factory grille mono paint job best of all did it myself, the feeling when someone asks who built it is priceless.... I figure you will experience that a bunch because your truck will draw a crowd whereever it goes as its gonna be sweet !!!! keep us posted Mike

Inthuwind · 01-16-2006, 05:18 PM

Check out the latest updates on my link below on my hood scoops//last pages

hgs_notes · 01-16-2006, 08:00 PM

Just my opinion, but I think it would look better if the middle ridge were removed. If you look at the 1:64 scale Jada trucks, they have a smooth hood, and I kinda like it. I was thinking about making one from a 67-68 hood and fitting it on my 71. I had also thought about ram air through the front of my original hood. I've seen a few models and concepts from the 60's that did it.

matthufham · 02-22-2006, 12:03 AM

bump, how's this project coming along? i can't wait to see it finished.

Inthuwind · 02-22-2006, 07:27 AM

I've stopped body work right now just to get my suspension finished up. I'm trying to install bags while everythings off the frame. I'll keep you posted when the scoops go on.~~Thanks for the interest.
