Just don't get a fiberglass cowl hood from US Body. Or else ou'll do what my buddy and I had to do.

The hood that Dan at Sick Industries makes is turely a work of art. Its all chevy steel from a donor truck. He does such a nice job finishing it that you can even see any welds on the under side and it looks stock. I like the fact that it still has the double "spear" shape on the hood and it actually is a cowl induction and is over the cowl.

You're right on the design and welds, I couldn't see a single problem from the pictures. I wish mine had the spear molded in. That's actually one of the big disappointments besides the overall quality.
