I would be carefull. I bought my hood from these guys and was not happy. I got the L88 hood and it had a lot of defects. Maybe i was just unlucky though. Hopefully you will have better luck than i did. Just my 2 cents. :wink:

im not trying to argue with you guys or anything, just wanted to let Whole_lotta_luv know that I did buy a bumper from them and am happy with it, other than it took over a month to get because they had to make it.

UP22, the hood on ebay out of tx, and a place in North Carolina is the only place I've found that has hoods, with UP22 being the only one that bolts on. :evil: If anyone knows of another place, do tell. Harwood, VFN, GLasstek, Hairy Glass, US body Source All say NO. :cry:

Not wanting to hijack a thead but I looked into purchasing the fiberglass cowl scoop only and just putting it on my 77 but found to get 4" high or higher the entire scoop itself is 40+" which is longer than we have avaliable to mount a scoop on the stock luv hood.

Did you cut off some the front or back?

Please give me a brief run through on how you attached it to your hood.

Thanks.

I cut mine off of the back and used good old fashioned pop rivets. Probably spend the cash for a real one when paint becomes a priority.

You got a picture of that?

I have scoured ebay in the past 2 weeks hunting for a good looking scoop of some sort. I am really torn between a typical 3-4" cowel and something more exotic like this:

Corvette scoop
