Let’s see your Custom Hoods for a 67-69 Firebird
I have been talking to Glasstek about having a hood made for my build. I found this car for sale and fell in love with the hood design. It’s similar to Ben Wilkinson’s Bird that I believe he modified himself. I want something a little more racy than the factory hoods and I’m a huge fan of incorporating factory style within the hood. Check this out. Glasstek will do the hood but not carry the T/A scoop body lines up the cowl. I need the under hood clearance for a Northwind and Elbow with Throttle Body for a Turbo setup.

I really dig the hood in the first pic.... I'd like a hood like that just with the cowl a little shorter but very cool.

Let’s see your Custom Hoods for a 67-69 Firebird
As of right now I’m having Glasstek build a copy of that hood. The only thing different will be the T/A Scoops will not follow onto the Cowl. It will be a few months before I have them start. I’ll post pics when complete. I am sure once a Mold is made they can make more. I am having it made in Bolt On as mine will be a street car.

That hood would be over kill on a lot of cars but on that one it’s perfect. Love the launch picture.

That looks like they grafted '71 GTO hood scoops on the Firebird Hood. Looks like they reversed them left to right also.

It’s for sure a 69 TA hood. I even spoke to Ben About his hood and that is what he started with. I’ll post up progress once I get Glasstek rolling on the project. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I havent updated this in a while. I am going to modify my 69 TA Glass hood myself. I have 2 options, either a Tony Oritz cowl scoop that will fit the Bird Beak a little better, or a 6" Cowl Harwood. I should get started very soon and I'll update. I canned the Glasstek project due to costs. Over $1400 for a hood this way. Plus shipping and wait time.
