[TrainTrac]

Saw this on Autotrader.com. It's up in CT.



I'm not sure if it's been posted here before, but it's the first time that I've seen it. Can't post the pictures here, but the ad is linked below.

Nice, not thrilling, not fascinating, but nice.

Anybody know where he got that hood? Never seen that but i would love one for mine!

I saw one on eBay a year ago but made my own keeping to the concept look. Think it was under $400

 

[TrainTrac]

Yeah, the cowl-induction hood isn't my cup o'tea, either, but I can appreciate the work that went into creating it.

Anybody know where he got that hood?

If you read the ad description, it says that it's a one-off custom hood.

 

[Jim Upton]

I would love to know who built it!

 

[EddieS'04]

It is unique, but. IMO, A street cowl should be, the width of the OEM hoods powerdome lines. With a gradual rise and, no taller than 2" at the rear.



So technicly, I wouldnt buy that hood. Looks too much like something for. A tunnel ram or SC on a drag car.

Maybe it is why Ford rolled the concept hood around the auto shows years ago because they felt it was suited for the application - I do like the Black "run up the front"

Hmm...I don't like it. If the cowl were not as high....I think I would like it more. I also don't like the black hood.

 

[Jim Upton]

I would definitly paint it to match the truck, I have to say if i could buy one, I would for sure. I think it looks pretty sharp, but would look better painted to match the body. imo.

Induction is nice, but I'd rather be...

 

[Jim Upton]

I called and talked to the guy, the bodyshop used a hoodskin scoop for a f150 and grafted it into the adrenalin hood,
