Anybody have pics of cowl hoods, or aar, maybe even a fiberglass shaker hood? I honestly love them all and don't know what I want. I do like the look of the big tired cuda's with cowl hoods. I do know I want a fiberglass hood, but thats all I know.

I think what I'm going to do is get 2 hoods, the AAR style and the 2-scoop raisin bran hood preferably in fiberglass if I can find one in good shape. Prep and paint both hoods. Then, I can change the look of the car in less than 30 minutes by swapping out hoods Photobucket sucks

But if it looks cheesy or not somewhat authentic, it may not look very good. Plus the issues of getting the bubble right. I did see one with the bubble attached to the hood, but I haven't seen any pics of one on a car.
