there is a possibilty to have a custom hood made but it would require about 15 preorders and a few months of designing.

i know there are no aftermarket cowl hoods for a 68 and personally i want one for my build.

is there any other interest in this or is the oldsmobile crowd pretty conservative regarding originality ?

 

I am looking for a 1969/1970 oai hood

 

im wanting a 4 inch cowl hood on my 68 cutlass

 

On a 1968? Sorry, but that will be aesthetically "challenged". Again, the 70-72 scoops are designed to align with the grilles.

 

well fellas i was originally thinking of having some cowl hoods fabbed up if there was enough demand but i discovered this can be had by going through....

It seems that purchasing one of their bolt on fiberglass hoods and having them mold one of their scoops to it, is the most cost effective way of getting a custom hood for these 68's.

 

VFN quoted me an additional $250 to add a cowl scoop to their '66 Cutlass hood.....they have a '65 & '67 cowl hood, but only a flat '66 hood.

 

If you have problems with people calling your Cutlass a Chevelle just wait until you put a cowl hood on it.

 

If done right I think a cowl hood would look good on a 68'

 

I mean if they took the simple design of the S hood and made it just a tad higher and functional that would be pretty sweet.

 

oem look would be nice, w/o the Camaro parts. A sixties vibe scoop would probably sell these days with the traditional crowd being strong right now.
I love the 68 body lines and have to admit a Camaro cowl would probably look good just so over done.

 

68CutlassDriver-- did you go ahead with a cowl hood on your '68? I would like to see a pic if you did. Done right, I think it would be awesome.

 

I would have to agree with 1968 Cutlassfallbrook, I have a 1968 Cutlass S and I would love to see the rise on the hood a little higher not to high maybe about 1/2 to an inch more. I speak for myself but when I get asked if my car is a Chevelle? I get P*ssed but I just tell myself they need to be educated. !!! Hell No Its a Olds !!!
