I think it was in Custom Classic Trucks that I saw a feature on how to section a '69-72 hood. The finished product was sleeker-looking than a stock hood, and I think it really looked great. Seems like the maximum slice on the leading edge is 2 or 2.5 inches, and is limited by the radiator support.

Makes me wonder why one of the aftermarket hood makers don't do a sectioned hood, with or without cowl induction. It would appease those who want a lower profile hood, yet done in a subtle manner.
