Our '73 Camaro is on the verge of getting its first weekend makeover.

Assuming all goes well, with the help of our friends at Lou's Performance in Sun Valley, CA, we're going to transform our second-gen with a complete split-bumper conversion. The real question is, what are your thoughts on cowl hoods?

I was originally trying to shy away from cowl hools and wanted to stick with a flat one, however we'll need the added room for the powerplant we're looking to drop in. The current hood is a factory item and has an aftermarket cowl grafted onto it; while it looks great from ten feet, it has to go.

What are your thoughts - should we opt for a steel cowl hood or look into the smallest 'glass hood available?
