Cowl hood on a delta?

Has anyone ever put a cowl hood on a delta 88 or dynamic 88 or even a 98 I was thinking particularly a 1969 modle but any around that age will give me a slight idea of what it would look like, also any ideas where to get one? I know they probably don't sell them as a 69 delta 88 hood and it will have to be made however any ideas on if I should buy a cowl and put it on or cut the sheet metal and lift/shape/lengthen/weld a stock hood so it looks more seamless and still has the body line up the middle?

IMHO, it wouldn't look right on a B/C body. Air induction hoods and spoilers are for A bodies.

If you need the room then go and install one, thats what they are for. Harwood makes a few flavors, both bolt on and bond type.

That's a great looking delta!, I was going to do the cowl because I'm going to need the room eventually also I figured it couldn't hurt to help cool under the hood a bit more. I'm just surprised no ones done it before anyone here good at photoshop? Haha
