I only saw the car once. I towed it from south park to Monessen for him last year.

this is probably a dumb question but how much off of the stock 86 white do you think it will be?

**cam303** · 01-26-2009, 07:16 PM

I couldnt tell you.

**Shorty429** · 01-26-2009, 07:20 PM

didn't think so, send some pics and we'll try and work something out!. thanks!

While we are on the subject of hoods for this year car. What do ya'll think of the 4" cowl that extends to the windshield? Think my hood is 3.5 or 4" now havent looked at it in awhile lol.

Bump. It looks like no one has a used cowl so what do you guys think of the heat extractor hood for my car?

Kinda why i was asking opinions on the window length cowl. I have a cowl hood on mine now. Was thinkng of a new one and could sell ya mine.

I'm not really into the 4 inch ones. For a track car they look great but this car is going to be a DD when i move down to Tennessee.

I work with the guy cam303 is talking about. I took some pics but it was getting dark and there was snow on the car. I sent the pics to my brother. I will try to take some better pics this weekend. It looks like a 2 cowl. It is in good shape and is hinged with a hood latch. The guy would need your stock hood to put back on his car so the neighbors won't complain. Give me your email and i will send the pics to you.

still no dice. i've had a few leads but none really worked out. i thought i was going to get a new hood but they only make it for 87-93 foxes.

i know. theres not alot to choose from for 85/86 stangs.if all else fails you could try to find a decent scoop for it. ive thought about that.

**Shorty429** · 02-25-2009, 04:57 PM

The main problem is that the hood is messed up so i was looking for a new one. i don't really have an option...

**85stang** · 02-25-2009, 05:42 PM

mines in decent shape, i just wanted something different. if i come across a different one my stock one will be available if you still need one.

**Shorty429** · 02-25-2009, 06:07 PM

Are you looking for a cowl? or something different?

**85stang** · 02-25-2009, 09:25 PM

seems like a cowl is about all you can get for these.

**Shorty429** · 02-26-2009, 05:02 PM

i was looking into fabbing a 87-93 one so i would have more options. but it looks like that would be really expensive

**85stang** · 02-26-2009, 10:10 PM

yea i seen that post. i always thought they were very similiar except the front lip. just cut 2" off the front lip and you got what you need. but if they were that close of a match i guess people would be doing it all the time. better to find out from other people that to cut up a good (and expensive) hood.

The 83-86 Mustangs have the choice of either a Cowl hood or a Mach 1 hood. I have a Cervini Mach 1 hood on my 86 GT.

I have a 84 notchback with a new 2 1/2" Cervini that I will install. Here is the look woth the Mach 1 hood.
