4'' Steel Cowl Hood !!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have been wanting to start this thread for quite awhile just never got around to it. I am looking for a steel 4'' cowl hood for my 71. I do not beleive that anyone makes one but please please inform mr if I am wrong.

Since I do not beleive anyone makes one, what is your guys opinion on what it would take to fabricate one. I was thinking of talking to one of my body work guys about this but they are always to busy (actually I beleive they are really just to lazy

)

I would think a good body guy could take 2 hoods and fabricate aone 4'' cowl induction hood

Does anyone have one ??? I do not want a fiberglass piece, it must be a steel hood.

I've been wanting to do this for my '70. I was going to fabricate my own by cutting the width I want and fabricating the sides. After I move I'm going to get started. I'll take pictures as I go and post when I'm done.
