Definitely different, but they seem to fit the lines of the hood nicely

Can't say I've seen that before, looks like it will turn out good though.

They're from Meacham...I have an earlier thread on here where I was trying to decide and posted a link. They only made one hood like this for a project truck several yrs ago. They're better known for their Vette hoods
but I think they make TA/FB hoods as well.

Crooked adds a little DIY touch...donchathink?
Its still in process of finish fitting. I did more measuring and fitting last nite. Ran into a few issues with the drip pans that cud require some alterations, but Meacham is working with me on it. Once a drill the holes for the exchangers they'll sit smoothly as the vents are touching the hood on the inside corners...R/
