MC1of80 Posted October 6, 2023 Posted October 6, 2023 Mark, that's a Glasteck 4" cowl hood. I HAD one "in stock" for a while. I was thinking of putting it on "Big Red" but was threatened not to. Lol. 2 Quote
cny first gen 71 Posted October 6, 2023 Posted October 6, 2023 A little to high and a little to long for my taste. Quote
714024SPEED Posted October 7, 2023 Posted October 7, 2023 My Nephew has one on his Monte . I think it looks good the way it takes up real estate on the long hood. 6 Quote

cny first gen 71 Posted October 7, 2023 Posted October 7, 2023 Mine is a little lower and a little shorter 7 Quote
DragCat Posted October 7, 2023 Author Posted October 7, 2023 I like the look for street on the SmurfMonte 😁 But for a race car the GlasTek looks bad a** IMHO https://glasstek.com/2608-2/ 3 Quote
Dtret Posted October 7, 2023 Posted October 7, 2023 It’s not a Smurf Monte, it’s the Smurf’s Monte. Maybe I’ll get a poster board made up. Hmmmm. 3 3 Quote

DragCat Posted October 10, 2023 Author Posted October 10, 2023 Not sure what I think about this one, saw it on a Mecum upcoming auction on a 72. https://www.mecum.com/lots/1103681/1972-chevrolet-monte-carlo/ Quote
Rob Peters Posted October 10, 2023 Posted October 10, 2023 First time I have seen that one. In my opinion, losebthe side ports and it would look better, the front ones look OK to me. That said, I think I will keep my stock hood. rob 1 Quote
willie Posted October 10, 2023 Posted October 10, 2023 I dont know, Alot of work for sure. She looks like a buick to me. but she sure is clean!!! 1 Quote
502ci Posted October 10, 2023 Posted October 10, 2023 I understand the use for the side ports (although not the best looking) is to get rid of the underhood heat from that setup. Definitely different and I think it looks good. 1 Quote
Marks71 Posted October 10, 2023 Posted October 10, 2023 It looks like a good functional hood where everything has a purpose. There’s just a little too much going on for my taste. Quote
MC1of80 Posted October 10, 2023 Posted October 10, 2023 The reason for all the "business" on the hood looks to be for the intercooler for the supercharger on top of the engine. 1 Quote
420ponies Posted October 10, 2023 Posted October 10, 2023 That Mecum Monte is going to for BIGMoney ! 555Merlin with a pro charger ? Is that a Gear Vendors overdrive? Steve, I still have my hood off. I can bring it up If you feel the need to "Experiment" on another Hood ! ....... Just sayin' 1 2 Quote
DragCat Posted October 10, 2023 Author Posted October 10, 2023 When I first saw the side view reminded me of an AR barrel 😮 Interesting build, agreed going for big coin. 2 Quote
DragCat Posted November 8, 2023 Author Posted November 8, 2023 Since I'm for some reason stuck on hood scoops lately 🤣Saw this Monte on Hemmings https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/listing/1970-chevrolet-monte-carlo-mundelein-il-2745931 2 Quote

Dtret Posted November 10, 2023 Posted November 10, 2023 I agree with Glen. Don’t care for it. But it’s not my car so the owner can do as he pleases. Quote
