For all you guys with the 67-68 hoods how did they fit when you installed'em. Did all the body lines on the fenders and cowl line up good, and was the hood flush with the cowl. Those pictures really got me thinking I need one

frost89434 · 02-27-2003, 02:20 AM

I am having a really hard time getting all of the lines matched up on mine. The curves are different from one side to the other. Mine is a goodmark hood. I also have a goodmark door and fenders and am not happy with the way any of it fits together. The place where I got the parts told me that he would not work with me.

I've been telling myself I don't want a cowl....you guys aren't helping me here! lol sweet trucks guys

My hood that is pictured a couple of post back lines up pretty well with the cowl and fenders, however the hood itself appears to be cut a little short down one side so I have a larger gap on one corner than the other.....but its hardly noticeable and I have accepted the fact a long time ago that aftermarket parts will never be perfect...........

I've always liked the larger cowl hoods. I have a 4" on mine, but it's a pin on. When I bought it the hinged ones weighed as much as a factory hood and I couldn't afford the lbs. Now I want to get a hinge type hood. Where did you guys get the larger cowl ones and do you like the quality. I originally got mine a few years back from US Body Source and found the hood to take an enormous amount of work to get it in shape for paint. I had a pro do it for me because I stink at bodywork. I could use some opinions.

Thanks,

Tom

Word of warning DO NOT but a Unlimited hood.I have bought 2 and had a few friends bought some for a early camaro and they are all JUNK.Harwood has some nice hoods ,alittle more but the time you will spend on a unlimited makes it worth the xtra money.I'm fixin to put a 4 1/2" metal cowl scoop on my goodmark 2" cowl in the next month.

Now you got my attention. Where did you find a 4 1/2" metal cowl. I think that would be killer.

I live right down the road from Harwood and have seen lots of their hoods. Some are good quality and some are bad. They do make a hood for a 69-72 but they will not make one for a 67-68. I have called many times and asked but they continue to tell me the demand is not there. Maybe we can swamp them with emails and calls for a 67-68 one and they will build one. 1-800-822-3392, I can't find an email address for them so lets just swamp them with calls.
