Here's my buddy's old coupe with a flat black cowl hood....Everyone loved it black but i think just the cowl section would have looked better in black, otherwise it looks like you got a new hood and haven't painted it yet.

Slow down buddy, read what you just wrote, & edit if needed.

Daggar , who's that peekin over your hood?

Not the year you were looking for, but thought it would give you an idea. I got the hood from a buddy that was parting his out, and I was planning to get it painted, but after I got it installed I liked it. I wasn't the only one, when I talked about getting my car painted I would hear "leave the hood black". When I do eventually get it painted, I think I will go two tone on the whole car, black on top, red on the sides.

The hood being black or whatever is "hotrod" but other body panels.... don't even think about it.

i think it would look great with the original hood decal flat black and the rest of the hood porsche red like the rest of the car.

heres some pics of when i painted mine

wet sand

1st layer of clear

2nd layer of clear

edit: oh you can see my buddy toms flat black modified stock hood. hes got an efi 351 with an edelbrock intake...he had some clearance issues..lol

 

[billbraskey]

That would look killer if the tops of the fenders were painted black to match the hood....

I noticed something here and it isn't a regular cowl hood since it has a hint of Cobra R hood lines on it. Could I ask where you get this and how many inches it is as well? Thats an awesome and different looking hood!!

Aslo sorry to hack your post but it just came across my mind. PM me by the way so his post wont be hacked.

WOODY, nice job on the hood but i have to say not so good on the buddy who ever did it. either they didnt take the time or didnt measure right

Thanks, that was my idea, top of fenders, up pillars, across roof, down hatch and wing. I will half to because I converted it to a LX and now it has a blue nose, black hood, flat black rear bumper and trim. I need to get it running first. If it's going to be ugly it better be fast.

Heh, story of my life dude...lol It ain't easy on cruise night being the guy running the primered car with rusted out doors, but when i turn the key they usually shut up I've got doors going on this winter but i paint won't be for a while.

thanks, but the other guys hood was a spare hood he used as a temporary fix. his other hood is all painted and has ghost flames on it, but when he switched to the 351 he couldnt use it.
