So, the search for a hood finally ended when I found one on carpart.com. The yard that had it, is one that a friend works at and I was skeptical that the hood existed so, I messaged him. Sure enough, they had the hood since they started cataloging their parts. That said, I rented a truck, drove across stated and picked it up.
Fast forward a week to me getting some time to start cutting it up. The intention is to make the hood clear the intake then, use it a buck to make a mold, allowing me to make a glass or carbon version of it. Anywho, on to the pictures.

I am soo thankful I have this piece of chromemoly laying around, it was the perfect length to hold the hoot up, allowing me to install it by myself. Yes, the hood did not go through a garage window like the last one did. Amazing, I know.

I also played around with some potential heights, I think I like the look of a 1" cowl more so than the other option.

To my surprise, the hood will clear the charge piping while following the factory lines.

The taller option, is just a bit too tall when your'e in the car. Also, you can see that I have been playing around with radio position, it is a street car after all.
