    Good to see you out again Gary!
    Your MPH seems down some. Do you think the cowl vs. forward facing scoop caused it?
     
  17. GS Kubisch

    GS Kubisch THE "CUT-UP" BUICK

    I would say no.
    I still have to build an airpan and th next two passes were both 9.57's at 139 + which is pretty decent for my little cylinder heads.
    It's been 141 in some fall Michigan air near sea level.

    Looks good. Who makes the cowl hood?
     
  19. GS Kubisch

    GS Kubisch THE "CUT-UP" BUICK

    I had the flat hood from VFN but the only cowl scoop that fits our long hoods is from Glasstek....It blends well with the front slope and goes to the windshield.

    Michael Evans a new project

    Now I know how my car is going to look with the cowl hood.

    If I can't find one already done, I am going to cut my flat-VFN hood.
