That is sooooooooo nice. That front on shot just says git outta my way, I'm haulin through. You did real good with it!!!!!

Longhorn Man · 04-17-2005, 08:29 PM

That is a good lookin color combo you picked there. Is it going to be a hoodless truck, or are you still getting one done up for it?
The 67 grill with the 70 eyebrow trim looks sharp, I've always wondered what it'd look like.

yeah i do want a hood but cant decide between cutting a hole tight to the scoop or getting a 4'' cowl hood and paint/throw it on? im gonna do ss stripes on the hood in the orange thats on the side , im pretty happy with the paint considering its the 1st ive done all the body work and paint myself i would have done a few things different though -kyle

Your truck looks awesome!! I really like that paint job!

70 shorty · 04-17-2005, 09:54 PM

I've watched your progress, I wish I could do that good at twice your age that I am . BTW, I'd go with a 4" cowl hood, but then again I guess you'd have to get rid of the scoop right?

70c10 · 04-17-2005, 10:20 PM

Lookin good!. Everybody who goes with a solid cam seems to really be happy with them.

sweeeeettttt!!!!

muddpile · 04-18-2005, 01:24 AM

Looks great! Personally, I'd go with the hole in the hood. Who would want to cover a nice scoop like that?

1STtimePRo'71 · 04-18-2005, 04:37 AM

Um

71swb4x4 · 04-18-2005, 04:52 AM

Definitely a nice truck you have, great job!

4x4Poet · 04-18-2005, 05:03 AM

Great street racer look.

I think a cowl hood high enough to conceal that setup would detract from the lowered look. A hood with a cut-out around the carbs would look great, though maybe restrict you to fair weather cruising. Tough call on a NY truck. Have you considered a custom, dual, fresh-air induction set up that would "ram" air into the intake, somewhat, while allowing for an oem hood that wouldn't detract from the lowered look? As you can probably tell, I prefer sleepers.
