**Dieselwrencher** · 01-17-2011, 06:30 PM

Nice hood. I have had a few unlimited hoods and none of them were perfect. But for the cost, I couldn't complain a lot.

scoop is 4.5, hard to get the fitment pics right now,nothing is lined up on the body...

*project 67 sub* · 01-19-2011, 07:47 PM

ok thanks

RCbowtie69 · 01-19-2011, 07:53 PM

they're all nice,cool

There are lots of nice trucks. I used to love cowl hoods and want to put them on everything, but not so much anymore. I have never been to big on the 2 inch cowl hoods, they have always looked weird to me. I prefer the 3-4 inch hoods.

*project 67 sub* · 01-19-2011, 08:05 PM

im thinking about a 6" on mine just because

Stano · 01-20-2011, 12:41 AM

If i knew what i know now about unlimited's hoods I would run,run and run some more. Mine is curling up like a old ladies knarly toe nail. I can slide my hand between the hood and fender with the hood latched. I paid 499 plus 80? shipping ten years ago and havent seen any better ones from them in recent years. In my opinion they are pretty crappy. I have the 4 inch btw. Looks cool fits bad. This pic is the good side, is worse now,(pic is 6years old) the other side is actually gapping open enough you can see the side of the engine.

**Dieselwrencher** · 01-20-2011, 03:20 AM

That's how the hood on my 70 Nova ended up and I had to cut it and redo it. It was no fun.

*project 67 sub* · 01-20-2011, 03:36 AM

well that sucks, is their anybody that makes a better one???

**Dieselwrencher** · 01-20-2011, 03:44 AM

Here is a 3" and everyone I have seen and help install has always been nice. We had one that had an issue and Harwood sent us a new hood and let us keep the blem one. It isn't 4", sorry.

*project 67 sub* · 01-20-2011, 03:48 AM

thanks but that wont work for my year, guess i will have to make a steel one or bond or bolt a scoop to my stock hood

**Dieselwrencher** · 01-20-2011, 03:58 AM

Here is just an example, but this would work great if you have a nice stock hood. I have used some before and I liked them a lot.

*project 67 sub* · 01-20-2011, 04:09 AM

holy sweet jesus, i think i might be in love lol, and its the same price as a fiberglass one.

*project 67 sub* · 01-20-2011, 04:11 AM

are the sides strait up and down or do they lean out towards the bottom???

**Dieselwrencher** · 01-20-2011, 04:11 AM

The one I installed leaned out but I pulled the sides in and welded it so the sides stood as straight as I could get them.

Stano · 01-21-2011, 12:55 AM

Or you could just make one like I did for my 96. This was the guinea pig for the one I am going to build for my 67 and get the unlimited hood off there.

*project 67 sub* · 01-21-2011, 02:15 AM

that came out pretty good, but the 67 hood might be alot harder to do with the gigantic raised body line in the center of the hood

Stano · 01-22-2011, 01:48 AM

My 67 wont have the giant raised body line in the middle of the hood. I am cutting the center of the hood out and using the center of a later model hood with the lower ridge like on the 96 hood. It will basically look the same as what I did with this hood. Got all the pieces now just gotta do it.

**Dieselwrencher** · 01-22-2011, 03:12 AM

Very nice job!
