I have been wanting a small cowl hood for awhile and will need it to use my sheetmetal valve covers and itake spacer, I am about ready to order.
I just wanted to get your opinions on which ones are best. I was thinking 2" or 2.5". And have considered goodmark's metal hood.
I've heard that cervinis are the best fitting fiberglass.
Don't really know which I want though. I am open to suggestions.

I think the Goodmark hood looks good. I bought a cowl hood for my old 69 Camaro from them and I was happy with the quality. I have heard nothing but great things about Cevini's. If you go that route, I vote for a 2" cowl.

Cervini is the way to go. And i'd say go for the 2.5 height cowl cause when you get the 2 inch your gonna say i should've gotten the 2.5. JMO

Thanks guys.

I just ordered a 2.5" Cervini's. I ordered it through Late Model. Bummer I gotta pay $130 to have it shipped. I tried to find somebody that might carry one locally but had no luck.
It should be here by Friday and I'll have it on this weekend. I'll post pics.

I wish I had heard that before I got mine. I thought it was awesome before the car was finished, but it dont match the front of the car at all above the lights
