    Does anyone here have pictures of a cowl hood street machine? Who makes them for our 70-72 skylarks?

    I like the look of the cowl induction, but not the one that sticks up so far so you cannot see across the hood. Maybe a 2-3 inch hood.

    Kerry S (a member of this board) has one on his '70 GS455 vert I believe. Maybe he can post a picture of his. Anyway, here is a fiberglass one offered by US Body. Here is the link: US Body

    This is built on a '70 skylark hood, that is the reason for the lip in the front of the hood. You could also consider a GS type hood, or a Stage-2 scooped hood if you are just looking for something a little "meaner".

    There are several fiberglass shops that make buick related fiber glass hoods, doors, fender and other related items. Here is a few more vendors for fiberglass parts.

    If you go to the Race 400/430/455 section do a search there and you will find some more on this subject plus a few pictures.
