I need a plain, flat RS hood. Minor dents are ok, I just don't want one thats all out of whack. I need more clearance so I plan to cut a hole for my air cleaner and make a nice scoop to put over it. I just need a flat hood. My last attempt at a cowl looks terrible so i changed my plan. I can pick up or meet so let me know!

Does your intake and carb setup really sit that high you need a cowl? I'm sure a 2" cowl hood would only run about $300.

Yeah I cowled my hood 2 inches and it STILL rubs. Its ridiculous. I don't have $300 though lol. And I don't like the way the aftermarket ones look. They don't follow the body lines at ALL. I hate it. I already have crap loads of sheet metal for a scoop so even if i mess up i can redo it. And i Learned a lot from my cowl experience haha

I went this weekend and no luck. Wouldn't you know it all of them were taken or trashed. Pissed me off. I went to the one on roosevelt and the one on applewhite.

Townaj: what kind of cars were at the Roosevelt location? Did you see any black interiors by any chance?

Roosevelt is extremely picked over. There was 3 or 4 each of firebirds and camaros. There was maybe one or two with black plastics, but idk about the cloth color though. There was one with the 91,92 ground fx though. The yard on applewhite is crazy huuuge and the cars aren't so trashed/picked over. Thanks for the numbers, I'll try them out. I'm looking on craigslist too so hopefully i can find one.

No problem. They get good cars every once in a while but they get stripped fast. The applewhite cars were way more together and they weren't so destroyed. I even found a v6 with a t5 still in the car! I was pleasantly surprised haha
