Modified AAR hood work in progress

[torredcuda]

Just thru some cheap black paint on it as I`m still doing the bodywork but figured I`d show you guys some pics.It`s an aftermarket race weight hood with the scoop section raised 1-1 1/2" and the vents filled and smoothed-whach ya think?

Looks great Torredcuda.

I may be looking for something like that later on to mix it up on my 70.

At least you can`t see the 36 grit scratches in the pics!

That is a cool look, will be doing similar to mine as well. but body color..................

[torredcuda]

The black is only temporary and mine will body color as well although I may put a stripe or graphics on the scoop-haven`t decided exactly yet.

[hemiken]

That will look cool, look forward to seeing your progress and what you decide for a decal

  very nice i want one for my 70 gran coupe down the road

Yes the black makes it look cleaner for sure.

Did you figure a way to seal it to the Air cleaner?

Did you raise the height or is that raised from the mfg.? I have seen the raised ones tat someone makes and it's like 6", (too big). Yours looks raised just enough.

[torredcuda]

It was stock hieght and I cut off the scoop and raised it 1-1 1/2' using styrofoam to fill in the gaps and layed the fiberglass over it.I still need to make an air pan for it to seal the carb to the hood but it already has lowered my et`s and upped my mph due to the air it pulls in at speed.

6" is too much-
