I think that hood has a lot of potential........
However I don't know that it will look right on a stock X
 






it will not be on a stock x....
 






Oh IC :)

Then hurry up and finish it :p
 






It's a bit too tall for my taste. But it looks pretty good other than that.
 






its not stock? you got a blown big block in there?

not even a 347 swap would justify a hood like that
 






wow, ok... so what do the neighbors think? :p

why don't you just rattle can that sucker, so we can see what it really would look like? :D heh
 






its to let all the hot air out ! lol.. but it will not look so big after the paint is on...
 






looks good. if your happy with it then damn-it do it.
 






that thing is HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! watch out for the wind resistance
 






new pic as of today...

now lift it or lower it with a v8 swap
 






for that much cowl height, i think you need at least two v8's - stacked on top of each other ;)
 






I think it looks ok, not bad for a scratchbuild. I wouldve softened the lines a little, they are a bit sharp, but its not my truck, is it. Great work, I think it will look good with a solid color paint job.
 






ya , its hard to round out flat stock ! but i thik it might look ok done..and if not its just 30.00$ at a yard for a new one..
